What is your favourite sports team?

I’ll watch any hockey team, but I don’t have a favourite team.

What is your most embarrassing moment? (keep it appropriate)

At one of my dance competitions in Toronto I was really getting into the choreography. I put too much power into my kick, my bottom leg flew out from underneath me, and I landed on my back on the floor pretty hard. This would have been only slightly embarrassing if the choreographer hadn’t stopped the music and over the microphone said “Oh My God! Are you ok?!......Are you sure?!..... Wow shake it off”. I was totally fine, but extremely mortified.

What was your previous high school?

St. Thomas of Villanova in LaSalle

Where is your hometown?

LaSalle, ON

What made you choose Human Kinetics?

My interest in Human Kinetics started during my years of competitive dance. For 6 years, from age 12 to 18, I wondered what the consequences of my dance training were doing to my body and what the after effects would be later in life. I chose Human Kinetics so I could find the answer to how physical activity affects the body.
