This past year the head coach, Leanne Marriott, of my volleyball club requested that I started coaching the "Mini Volley" youth team practices. I had been playing for the club, Scotia Juniors, for 4 years, and had demonstrated many important qualities such as leadership, teamwork, dedication, and efficiency. Other than that job, I have no other job experience, but I did was in the Girl Guides program for ten years. Within that program I did volunteer work for charities, I've been developing my salesmanship skills since the age of 5 because of cookie selling, and work very well under pressure with big goals being set that we would have to reach every year.

I've been playing volleyball for 5 years now. This past year, I have gone through a lot of adversity having multiple concussions. Even though I was out for the majority of the season, I would still show up to every practice, and support and encourage my teammates and coaches in any way possible. I love volleyball, and I always put my heart and soul into every aspect of it. I will put just as much energy and time into any job that I am working for. Some accomplishments I have made throughout my time as an athlete are coming second at nationals, first last year at provincials and second this year, making my high school varsity team( I had a knee injury so sadly i couldn't try out this year), being a co-team captain on my junior high volleyball team and on my volleyball team this season.

Growing up, I have always loved performing. I started playing violin at the age of 3, and continued until I was 14. Violin was a key part of my childhood and taught me some very valuable skills like memorization and confidence in front of crowds. A couple years later when I was 9 my parents put me in a Neptune theatre summer camp. That camp solidified that I love being in front of crowds. I went to multiple programs and camps for years that mentored me to have better public speaking skills and management with memorizing lines.
