About

I'm a Toronto-based Master of Health Informatics student at the University of Toronto, working at the intersection of clinical data, public health, and the people who rely on it. My work spans quantitative and qualitative analysis, literature synthesis, and building the Power BI dashboards that help Ontario health stakeholders act with confidence. I hold a BSc in Life Sciences from Queen's University and bring structured, reproducible methods to messy real-world health data.

Personal project

Note-taking website

A course workspace between Notion and OneNote

I couldn't find a tool that sat between Notion's structure and OneNote's freeform notebooks — and neither helped me capture everything said in lecture. So I vibe-coded my own: one place for notes, course details and deadlines, with built-in transcription so no lecture content gets missed.

  • Lecture transcription for capturing notes
  • NotebookLM incorporated into the workspace
  • Calendar integration
  • Course information organized from syllabi
