“I have been moved by the 'Designer as Activist' framework and am constantly trying to embody this mission through my work. I strive to think critically about how healthcare provision can be improved/transformed to better serve individuals in need. I am focused on advocating on behalf of the disability community of Ontario by designing meaningful, innovative, and sustainable solutions to various healthcare issues that this community endures. My uncle Ben, who has Down Syndrome and is also a cancer survivor, has been my biggest inspiration, and I dedicate all of my work and efforts during my degree to him.”
