Hello!

My name is Samuel and I'm a current first year Systems Design Engineering student at the University of Waterloo!

I love to create. Whether it be experimenting to perfect the perfect chocolate chip recipe, or messing around with code to see the result, trying new things is a big part of who I am. I'm currently exploring the intersections technology has with business, and more specifically, meaningful social ventures.

When I have some spare time, I love to catch up on my TBR, bake something new, swim around, or watch movies!

    Swim

    you're at a swim lesson and hear a child screaming in terror. that was probably me... But hey— character development is real! Now I love to swim :)

    Food

    it's a common misconception that bakers can cook. please don't confuse my baking knowledge with my ability to cook... (above are some pumpkin-themed donuts 😋)

    as a kid, i used to hate going outside. now, it's one of my fav hobbies! if any of you have some extra cash, my pockets are always available so i can plan my next trip! (above is from my trip to Nova Scotia 🐋)

    Art

    if it's ugly at first, try, try again. drawing has taught me a lot about trusting the process. my work has been featured on Young Voices Magazine, as well as has been used for fundraisers!
