I am very honoured and excited to announce that I have been selected by the Young Diplomats of Canada as a Delegate for the upcoming 2021 World Bank Group and International Monetary Fund (WBG-IMF) Annual Meetings this October. I will be working with five other delegates to advocate for Canadian youth perspectives at these meetings. Our delegation will be engaging in a lot of exciting work leading up to, during, and after the meetings. Updates on our progress will be posted here.

"Technology is not just about technical coding skills; building ethical frameworks that regulate tech is equally important in preventing abuse of these technologies."
