Thank you for visiting my site!
Hello, I'm Laura, currently in my fourth year at the University of Toronto, pursuing a Specialist degree in Computer Science. While I'm just one course away from completing a minor in Mathematics, my primary focus and passion lie in exploring the realms of Computer Vision, Robotics, and Machine Learning through my specialization.
Initially,my journey started in my local robotics club, sparking my passion for design and innovation through soldering and Arduino projects. Simultaneously, I worked on a women's sports app that taught me to persevere and confidently pitch an idea to others. Initially, I focused on robotics courses in university, but my curiosity led me to explore various aspects of computer science. This journey culminated in a profound interest in Computer Vision.
Throughout my degree, I pursued to be an engineer with diverse experience, expanding my skills through TA-ing, internships, and university clubs. As a teaching assistant, I was determined to share my passion for computer science and make the content clear and fun for students. Diverse internships exposed me to backend, frontend, and mobile engineering culminating in a my project using the RoomPlanAPI last summer, where I witnessed the impactful role of Computer Vision in the real state industry.
Last semester, implementing a tool to assist blind rock climbers with 2 other students strengthened my belief in technology's positive influence. The concept of modeling our world with Computer Vision deepened my interest in the field.
I'm incredibly grateful for those who have been part of my journey and have given me an opportunity. I hope to do the same by helping others along the way!

When I am not on the computer, I enjoy rock climbing, drawing, and spending time with my family & friends.
