I am currently a 17-year-old senior with an 87.1% average (3.9 GPA). Outside of golf and school, I am also a ballet dancer. Training for golf and dance helps me become the most diverse athlete I can be. I am very passionate about both golf and dance, but I feel I can create a future through golf. I am a person with a lot of heart and a positive attitude. Everyday I want to become a better version of myself, whether that is through golf, school, friends, family, or anything else. I am also a “book smart” person. I love learning about new concepts. In Ottawa, I am on the regional junior golf development team for the Ottawa Valley Golf Association. I am starting my fourth year on the team. Being in a team atmosphere and knowing that I have support from the other members on the team, helps me learn what college golf will be like.
My summer season has now finished. I believe I have continued to have a successful season. I have won four tournaments, had 10 top 10s, and placed top 20 in three others. Highlights so far have been winning Golf Ontario’s Juvenile (U17) Girls Championship and playing in the 75th U.S. Girls' Junior Championship and Canadian Junior Girls Championship in July. I have shot five (individual) tournament rounds under par (see red numbers below) this year and have even had an ace in tournament play! I am most proud of my ability to play 6 tournaments in 5 weeks through July and early August. It was a tough and tiring road at times, but I believe my mental strength carried me through some of the more difficult times to be able to perform at my best. I am looking forward to Golf Ontario’s Provincial Super Camp & Tour Championship in a few weeks and my high school season starting.
Thank you to everybody who has followed my path over the past 1.5 years. I am now verbally committed to Longwood University in Virginia. I am so excited to become a Lancer!
