Please tell us a little bit about your family.
We are a family of three. I play baseball and my parents love to watch me play. We have moved around Whitby only a few times so I have been here my entire life. My dad grew up in England and then moved to the US when he was around 5 and then moved to Canada when he was around 9 and he’s been in Canada for 40 years. My mom grew up in Winnipeg and then moved to Ontario for a job where she met my dad.
What are your plans after graduation?
I plan to go to Niagara County Community College to study kinesiology and play baseball at the college level. I plan on spending two years at NCCC and then transfer to a 4-year school to finish off my last two years. I plan on becoming a physiotherapist when I am older and coaching baseball.

If you were asked to give advice to your senior class and the younger students at your school, what would you say?

Last Chance U
If you could choose anyone to have lunch with, who would you choose? Why? And where, locally, would you meet for this lunch?
