I live in the very small village of Lisle, Ontario and my club team is out of Aurora, Ontario. I attend Banting Memorial High School that holds around 2000 students. I am roughly 6ft and still growing. I can easily say I dedicate my entire life to volleyball. For as long as I can remember I have been either waking up hours before the sun shows to getting home past midnight three nights out of the week to play the sport I love. Every week I am traveling a total of 8 hours commuting to club practices, traveling all around Ontario almost every Saturday to play in tournaments with my club team and then commuting Sunday morning to attend the VCCE (Volleyball Canada Center of Excellence). During off season I weight train about ten hours a week as well as play competitive beach volleyball.

Accountability and Passion are two things that are very important to my as an athlete and individual. Giving 100% everytime I step on the court as well as everything else I do is something I take pride in, you'll always find me giving it my all.

"If I am giving up this much of my time to get better, I better be giving that much effort to make it pay off."
