My mom taught me that education and perseverance could lead me far, and she was right. At 14, my mom and I backpacked through India. There, I saw black rivers and decided to make cleaning polluted water the mission of my lifetime. At 17, I used quantum chemistry software to discover a novel type of material capable of purifying water. I won a Diploma of Excellence from the Swedish Royal Family and a fully funded scholarship to study computer engineering at the University of Toronto. I founded Xatoms based on the initial research I started at 14. Xatoms uses AI and quantum chemistry to discover new substances capable of purifying polluted water from bacteria, viruses, and pesticides, resulting in clean drinking water. We collaborate with water organizations in Kenya, South Africa, the US, and Canada. We are part of a Compute for Climate Fellowship, having our R&amp;D supported by UNESCO, AWS, and the International Research Center on AI. We are also part of a 776 Climate Fellowship, supported by Alexis Ohanian, the founder of Reddit. Xatoms is on a mission to solve global water pollution and to reduce the time women and girls around the world spend fetching water, sending them to schools instead. We have raised over 2.5M CAD and over $500k in non-dilutive grants. Xatoms was the historic biggest winner at Startupfest, taking home $500k, winning in 3 categories, and all the co-founders were named Forbes 30 Under 30 North America for 2025. I am also the youngest emerging leader at Canada&#8217;s Clean50.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Beyond research and entrepreneurship, I&#8217;m a passionate low-budget traveler, having explored 107 countries thus far.
