About Me   About Me
I'm a recent graduate of the Mechanical Engineering program at the University of Victoria, where I worked on cool stuff like Hydogen fuel cells and renewable energy system modelling. Having plotted my escape from the engineering world, I am living in Ghana working with Engineers Without Borders and a local NGO (KITE) to assist rural communities in 'gaining access to modern energy services'; basically a fancy way of saying providing machines that can pump water, process their farm produce and generally help them save time and energy while allowing them to earn a livelyhood.

My interests and passions revolve around social justice and the environment, but I am also passionate about the outdoors and music
