About Me

Hello there, my name is Ben! I'm currently a student at the University of British Columbia pursuing a Bachelor's of Applied Science in Mechanical Engineering. Lately, I've been working hard to improve my engineering skills through several opportunities such as internships, school design team, and personal projects. When not busy working or studying, you'll likely find me at the gym getting big and strong! 💪
