I have always been very active and outgoing which is why my parents enrolled me in various activities as a child. These activities helped me to discover my talents and passions. I enjoy being part of a team, and I still play sports, including soccer and softball.

After graduating from high school, I attended Simon Fraser University where I took a wide variety of courses. I learned a lot in my first year at university: what I like, what I dislike, and what I want to pursue in life. However, I decided to take some time off from school before taking the next step in my career because I wanted to see and experience more of the world.

Last spring, I realized my dream of traveling around Europe. I backpacked by myself around Europe, and I experienced so many unbelievable things. I visited twelve countries in Europe and was exposed to many different cultures. I tried to learn as much as I could from each of them. That trip changed me in many ways; it was a great learning experience. I learned about history, culture, and religion, but most of all I learned a lot about myself.

I am currently a broadcast journalism student at the British Columbia Institute of Technology. I have learned so much during my time at BCIT. The practical experience and hands on learning are fundamental.
