ASCEND CALGARY
Back in January 2025, I started a community for youth to work on their passion projects out of House 831 from 12-3 PM, weekly.

Building Support for Intersectional Entrepreneurs
This summer, I collaborated with Dr. Chad Saunders and Innovate Calgary on a research project exploring how intersectional entrepreneurs navigate Calgary’s evolving entrepreneurial ecosystem.

FILMMAKING + STORYTELLING
I make my own videos. Write stuff sometimes. Worked with Capi Studio and The Residency.

STARTUP STUFF (TOO MANY TO COUNT)
Did my first internship with a startup based in Montreal called MobiLoud, where we could turn your website into an app ASAP. Next I worked for a venture studio in Calgary called Motiv where I did growth work. Now I invest in student-founded startups with Front Row Ventures.

KPMG
Felt so professional #corporatebaddie. Worked in 3 client engagements in the public, energy and fast food sector. Grinded those powerpoints.
