Describe how you work in a team.
When I am with a team, I have nothing but the upmost respect for them. The people who surround you are the most important. I am caring, respectful, and I value them. I am very aware that there is never an ‘I’ in team.
Athletic highlights and how you felt when you received them:
Winning Gold at the 2023 nationals in Calgary
What are your interests outside of sports? Why do you like them?
I love music, I love listening to it, dancing to it, signing it. It makes me feel at peace and calm. It makes everything else go away and allows me to feel free in the moment.
Who are your role models and why?
My mom. She has been through a lot in her life and to see her so passionate and so full of ambition and light keeps me going. She is my biggest supporter off court but especially on it. I owe so much to her. I would never be where I am today as an athlete without her.
Involvement in other sports or extracurricular. Why is it important for you?
I love to dance, I grew up a dancer and continued for 13 years, so the majority of my life. I loved it because It made me feel free, within my body and mind. It taught me how to express my feelings throughout movement. It taught me what it was like to have a family, which then shifted over to volleyball and now its my life. In the best way possible.
Academic highlights and how you felt when you received them?
For me, it doesn’t come down to an award, but just an experience. That feeling of studying so hard for an exam or putting your all into a project and getting recognition is the best feeling in the world. I love to put a creative spin on my work and study hard for test because being valued as a student is very important to me. So the feeling of hard work paying off is the best academic highlight of all.
What program would you like to attend in school?
Business is my dream to go into. After a lot of researching and an extremely helpful grade 10 business coarse, I immediately knew it was my future. I love to create, and I love to use my imagination and put it into my work.
How do you envision your school life in college/university?
I envision feeling an upmost independence, feeling so mature and ready to take on anything. I see myself as a student athlete who is loving her business program and hanging out with her loving teammates. I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for me, I know it’s good.
