Meet the coaches
at Zebra Brampton East.

I bring more than eight years of VEX Robotics experience to my role as a VEX Robotics Coach at Zebra Robotics Brampton East. Through years of competing, building robots, and leading teams, I have developed extensive experience in robotics design, engineering, teamwork, and competition strategy. My professional experience also includes working as a Staff Engineer in Process – Compounding at Apotex Pharmaceuticals and as a Machine Shop Assistant at the Lassonde School of Engineering. I am passionate about passing on the knowledge and experience I have gained through robotics to help students develop their own technical skills, confidence, and competitive spirit. I hold a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering with Honours from York University and the Bergeron Entrepreneurs in Science and Technology Certificate. I also completed my Ontario Secondary School Diploma as an Ontario Scholar and participated in the Technology Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) program. My favorite subject to teach is robotics. Having participated in VEX Robotics for more than eight years, I understand how the experience can shape a student's technical abilities, teamwork, and future career. I hope to share that same passion with my students, helping them learn through hands-on building, experimentation, and competition while encouraging them to push their limits and discover their potential. Beyond engineering and robotics, I enjoy playing sports and working out. Cricket is my main sport, and I have played for more than 15 years, competed at the Ontario level, participated in international tours, and won numerous championships. I also enjoy listening to a wide variety of music and playing video games.

I have been a Coding and Robotics Instructor at Zebra Robotics since 2024. I teach programming, robotics, and STEM concepts through hands-on projects that encourage creativity, experimentation, and problem-solving. I have also worked as an FLL (FIRST LEGO League) and Stripe coach, led workshops, and supported students as they prepared for competitions and developed their own projects. I am currently pursuing an Honours Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at York University's Lassonde School of Engineering. I especially enjoy teaching programming and robotics through hands-on projects that allow students to experiment, explore their ideas, and build something of their own. One of my favorite parts of working at Zebra Robotics is seeing students who initially doubt their abilities eventually succeed. Watching their confidence grow as they realize, “I actually did it!” is one of the most rewarding aspects of teaching. My personal motto is “You never stop learning.” In my free time, I enjoy working on personal projects, learning new things, reading books, and cooking.

I have been a Coding and Robotics Instructor at Zebra Robotics since December 2024. I enjoy helping students develop their technical skills, tackle challenges, and discover the excitement of learning computer science through hands-on activities. I have also contributed to the technology community by serving as a judge at WolfHacks 2026 and Turner Hacks 2026. I hold a high school diploma and am currently pursuing an Honours Bachelor of Computer Science in Cloud Computing at Sheridan College. My most memorable moments at Zebra Robotics are when students complete their assigned work or overcome challenging tasks through hard work and persistence. Seeing students become enthusiastic about a topic, celebrate their accomplishments, and eagerly take on new challenges makes teaching especially meaningful to me. I believe that helping students develop curiosity, confidence, and a willingness to keep learning is one of the most rewarding parts of being an instructor. My favorite quote is: “I choose to have hope. I want to be hope for everyone.” — Anonymous Outside work, I enjoy reading, crocheting, and exploring computer science projects.

I am a second-year Computer Science student at Toronto Metropolitan University. One of my favorite memories at Zebra Robotics is playing beanbag games with students and fellow coaches during summer camp breaks. These moments brought everyone together in a fun and relaxed environment outside the usual activities. I enjoyed watching students work as a team, compete, and cheer each other on while trying to win. Joining in as a coach and competing alongside the students made the experience even more memorable. This experience reinforced the importance of teamwork, connection, and creating a welcoming environment where students and instructors can learn and grow together. I am inspired by the quote: “The goal isn’t to know everything, but to never stop learning.” Outside work and studies, I enjoy creating crafts, going on hikes, and writing short stories.

I have professional experience as an Assistant Maintenance Technician at BMP Metals, where I worked for six months. My technical background helps me appreciate the relationship between mechanical systems, hardware, and software. At Zebra Robotics, I enjoy introducing students to robotics and programming, helping them understand how different components work together to bring their ideas to life. I graduated from Chinguacousy Secondary School and am currently studying Mechatronics Engineering at Ontario Tech University. I enjoy teaching robotics and programming, especially helping students understand how hardware and software work together to solve problems. One of my favorite memories at Zebra Robotics is watching students successfully complete a task after working through challenges. Seeing their confidence grow and their persistence pay off makes teaching especially rewarding. My favorite quote is: “Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.” — Robert Collier Outside the classroom, I enjoy playing basketball, football, and volleyball. I also like reading articles and novels and spending time gaming.

I have experience in software development, web development, education, and technology project management. During my academic journey, I completed several co-op placements, working as a Junior Software Developer at Skill Squirrel, an Applied Computing Tutor at Sheridan College, and a Web and Learning Platform Developer at DLC Associates, where I continue to manage a variety of technology-related projects. At Zebra Robotics, I teach coding and robotics, helping students develop their programming skills through engaging, hands-on activities. I have also volunteered as an Orientation Volunteer and Megabyte Mentor at Sheridan College and served as a judge at Turner Hacks 2026. I completed an Advanced Diploma in Computer Systems Technology – Information Systems Engineering at Sheridan College, graduating with a 3.79 GPA. During my studies, I developed a full-stack web application for an industry client as part of my capstone project. I also participated in the RBC Women in Tech Advisory Program as a mentee and received the Sheridan College Fall 2025 Co-op Certificate of Nomination in recognition of my academic achievement and professional readiness. I especially enjoy teaching programming and robotics, with a particular interest in web development. I love helping students turn their ideas into real projects and express their creativity through technology. One of my favorite memories at Zebra Robotics is seeing the creativity and problem-solving skills students demonstrate as they build their own websites. My personal motto is “Fortune favours the bold.” This inspires me to step outside my comfort zone, embrace new challenges, and continue learning. Outside work, I enjoy playing chess, drawing, and watching suspense and thriller movies.

I have experience in several customer-facing and safety-oriented roles, having worked as a lifeguard, receptionist, and soccer referee. These experiences have helped me develop communication, responsibility, teamwork, and interpersonal skills. At Zebra Robotics, I enjoy helping students develop their skills while encouraging them to explore new ideas and build confidence in their abilities. I am pursuing a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU). My favorite subject to teach is mathematics. I enjoy the logical thinking and problem-solving involved in the subject and encourage students to approach challenges with curiosity and an open mind. My favorite quote is: “Everything I’m not makes me everything I am.” In my free time, I enjoy playing soccer, playing video games, and watching TV shows and movies.
