TEDxUW Talk: Why you should email your grandparents more




Drawing on my work with enTECH, I delivered a TEDx talk for TEDxUW in October 2020. My talk was intended to be a call to action, encouraging young people to reach out to the older adults in their lives and help empower them using technology.

Interview on CBC KW's The Morning Edition


I was interviewed by Craig Norris on CBC Kitchener-Waterloo's The Morning Edition about enTECH@home, enTECH's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.  

How to Cite Using Mendeley


I mentor a lot of junior students in research, and I always encourage them to learn the tools of research,  like Mendeley to manage citations. I made this video to show my mentees how to use Mendeley effectively, to ensure their references are accurate and complete.

How to Learn


In my third year of university I discovered the application Anki for studying, which changed the way that I study completely. Since using it, I study far less, far more efficiently, and my GPA shot up. I've made it my mission since to evangelize Anki's usefulness to others, to the point where I have made a video detailing its usefulness.

My Path to Medicine


I was asked to give a presentation at Grand River Hospital in Kitchener, Ontario about the process of applying to medical school in Canada, and what my path has been in my journey to medicine. This presentation details a good number of tricks gained from my years being involved in the Canadian premed community. There is extensive content specific to succeeding as a premed at the University of Waterloo, but also a lot of other content related to excelling as a premed in Canada.

President's Accolade


I was awarded the University of Waterloo President’s Accolade for my work co-founding and running the enTECH Computer Club for three years, and the University of Waterloo School of Pharmacy wrote an article about this. The details of this award and the article are below.
