Something I am proud of: When i was 5 years old I raised over $3000 for the Canadian Cancer Society. Through the process I was in our local paper and that gave me the opportunity to meet a person who had cancer. He was going through a tough time and my story helped him find motivation and determination. My new friend lost his battle with cancer last year, so this year I am doing another fund raiser as part of the colour to conquer cancer for The Princess Margaret Foundation. My target this year is $2000.

Who I look up to: my mom

Hobbies: hockey, soccer, baseball

My pet peeve: my brother

What makes me a Genuinely Unique Girl: I’m kind and compassionate, I love animals and am a good friend. I am vegetarian because I love animals. I am a great big sister to my little brother, and a great younger sister to my (annoying) big brother.
