ABOUT ME

I am a musical guy who loves playing sports. I grew up primarily a basketball player, being the captain of my junior high and high school teams. I played on a Halifax Division 1 Club team (The Canadian Martyrs), as well as a number of years on provincial teams playing for Nova Scotia. The roles on those teams helped me to develop cohesive strategies that will always help me in the workforce working with coworkers. I love working with people as well as challenging myself to overcome obstacles in order to complete a goal.

I love learning and have a readiness to work hard. My future aspirations entail me completing my undergraduate studies and pursuing a career in education and eventually law.
