Kendra graduated with a B.Sc. with distinction in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Alberta in 2025. During her undergraduate studies, she worked at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital in Research and Innovation, developing rehab tools and technology for use by patients and clinicians in the hospital. This included a mold for a soft silicone finger prosthesis, and a giant Lite-Brite for training gross motor skills. She was also heavily involved in the Autonomous Robotic Vehicle Project (ARVP) student group where she was a mechanical member and eventually mechanical lead, developing autonomous submarines. 

Kendra joined the BLINC lab in summer 2025 as an undergraduate research assistant. She is developing a multi-articulating hand for the Virtual Prosthesis EmulatoR (ViPER), a virtual reality environment to train users to elicit appropriate contractions for myoelectric prosthesis control. This involves modelling a hand in SolidWorks and equipping the hand in Unity to open and close in various grasp patterns. 

In her free time Kendra likes to read and climb.
