My approach to improving the world is to:
- live sparingly so I can maximize my donations to highly effective charities (based on EA-related organizations' recommendations such as GiveWell, Founders Pledge, and Animal Charity Evaluators)
- pursue an as impactful as possible career based on my personal skills and experiences (I am currently working for New School Foods, a startup which is developing whole muscle plant-based fish at price parity)
- live a vegan and environmentally-conscious lifestyle (to reduce animal suffering and mitigate climate change)
- promote the EA philosophy (I co-led the Effective Altruism Waterloo group in university and have since facilitated 5 cohorts of the EA Virtual program, plus initiated a podcast episode on the topic of effective altruism run by the University of Waterloo Engineers Without Borders chapter)
- learn more about about effective altruism sub-areas through reading EA-related books and articles as well as listening to EA-related podcasts
- write about EA (I have made 2 posts on the EA forum)
- volunteer at EA-related organizations (I am currently a volunteer for ALLFED)
- use my spare time to help others pursue a career in alternative proteins (I created a career guide and podcast series for this)
