About Me

Hi I'm Freda! I'm a 3rd year Software Engineering student at the University of Western Ontario. I'm interested in the intersection of technology and finance, recently I've been exploring Tech/AI Policy and its implications; mostly how technology can be used to solve real-world problems.


Fun fact: I've organized more hackathons than I've been to!

I also enjoy looking at aesthetic things, UI/UX design, and cats :)
