About

I am a highly motivated MSc graduate in Chemical Sciences with hands-on experience in chemistry, laboratory analysis, and environmental testing. I have practical knowledge in sample preparation, radiation safety, contamination control, and analytical instrumentation, including HPLC, UV spectrophotometry, and SDS-PAGE. I attended the 2024 and 2025 Canadian Nuclear Association (CNA) Conference as a Student Program Winner, where I gained deeper insights into Canada's nuclear innovation and clean energy future.

In addition, I had the opportunity to visit SNOLAB, Canada’s deep underground science laboratory, where I observed advanced low-background radiation detection systems and ultra-clean laboratory operations, further strengthening my interest in contributing to research and safety in nuclear science environments.

With a strong background in research and industrial quality systems, including GMP and GLP compliance, I am passionate about contributing to the nuclear sector, whether in laboratory operations, environmental monitoring, quality assurance, or radiological safety. I am eager to apply my skills and grow within a dynamic, safety-focused team advancing clean and secure energy solutions in Canada.
