Summary
I am a second-year Biomedical Engineering (Honours) and Commerce student at the University of Auckland, majoring in Accounting and Innovation & Entrepreneurship.

Through this experience, I have learned how to communicate effectively, collaborate within a team, and maintain a healthy balance between study, work, and life.
