Hobbies


* I have played Rep hockey for four years, two of which we were All-Ontario semi-finalists. This has allowed me to develop both team and leadership skills both on and off the ice. It is very physically and emotionally demanding as it is very time consuming; this has helped me learn to prioritize and organize my time especially for school. 


* I love to sail solo on Georgian Bay my days off from work and go camping with friends.


* I like to lift weights and work out.


* I like to spend time with my dog Molly.
