As a self-motivated product designer with experience in both startups and agencies, I excel in collaborating with cross-functional teams, including senior designers and developers, to bring design strategies to life. My background in science, research, and psychology has given me a strong foundation in data analysis and interpretation, allowing me to make informed decisions and follow ethical research practices. With expertise in user and market research, wireframing, prototyping, and other design methodologies, I am confident in bringing ideas from concept to launch. I am well-versed in the Agile framework and comfortable using tools such as Jira and Linear. My passion lies in creating designs that have a positive impact on people, and I approach projects with empathy and transparency. I value continuous learning and improvement, and welcome feedback as a way to grow and enhance my designs. With a focus on problem-solving and creativity, I am excited to bring my skills and passion to the table.

Entrepreneur | Innovator | AI & Sustainability Advocate | Nutrition Enthusiast | Speaker I thrive at the intersection of innovation, technology, and societal impact. With a background spanning from biological engineering to AI and digital transformation, I’m passionate about leveraging cutting-edge solutions to drive positive change across industries. As the co-founder of POPMII, I built and led high-performing teams, pushing the boundaries of immersive experiences through innovative technologies. Today, I’m channeling that entrepreneurial spirit into several exciting ventures: Ambassador of AI at Allobrain: I’m focused on revolutionizing customer service with generative AI solutions, helping companies optimize operations and enhance the customer experience through advanced technologies. CoFounder of Reify Nutrition: We’re creating smart, high-protein, plant-based snacks designed to support athletes and health-conscious individuals with natural, low-sugar ingredients. From my early work in cystic fibrosis research to my current focus on AI and nutrition, I’ve always been driven by a desire to solve real-world problems with innovative approaches. I’m committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible—whether it’s transforming how we think about customer service, reimagining nutrition, or building bridges between technology and sustainability.

As a law professor, I research regulation of North American energy companies. I focus on energy transport, such as pipelines, power-lines, and LNG, and how countries, states, and provinces account for and influence energy markets in their trading partners. I study how domestic energy regulations interact with international energy markets and limits on state authority set by constitutional law and trade law. I have written on regulation of imported fuel and electricity that is based on how those energy commodities were produced elsewhere, a mode of regulation that is becoming increasingly common in many forms including low carbon fuel standards, renewable power standards, and environmental impact assessments of energy transport projects such as pipelines. A related strand of my research examines how countries may encourage climate action in other countries without provoking trade wars; I explore innovative options such as environmental matching commitments. Finally, I am studying how global energy companies respond to competing pressures from investors and regulators in multiple jurisdictions employing different corporate law standards. I teach courses in energy, business, and administrative law. In recent years, I have taught Energy Law, Oil & Gas Law, Business Associations, International Energy Development, Energy Transport & Trade, International Petroleum Transactions, Canadian Energy Management and Regulation, and Regulatory Theory and the Law.

Over the past 6 years, I have developed an extensive research background both in academic and industry settings. I want to combine this experience with my engineering and programming educational background into a research and development career in the high-tech and software industries. I have worked in a broad range of industries from high voltage material science to oil & gas to synthetic biology and can bring a unique perspective into a new job from fields that are not traditionally linked.
