Sports

I have played Hockey since I was 4 at the highest level, in doing so I gained many social skills and developed a strong ability to excel when working as a team. Learned how important it is to not be too self centered and how to provide certain skills or needs to help do whats best for the "team" which I believe can be very helpful in my future career. I was the captain for my hometown hockey team which demonstrates my ability to be a leader and to be punctual and passionate. Hockey also helped develop my work ethic which was shown when working at Beast Tree service in very intensive labour during the summer heat.
