About Me

Hey everyone,

I am a grade eleven student from Tillsonburg where I have been living for 16 years (my whole life). My number one interest is animals, particularly dogs. From a very early age I have had a fascination with all animals (except birds which I fear, ironically) and I hope that I can pursue something in that field of interest. However, due to the fact that science is not my forte I plan on taking a university program called Peace and Conflict Studies which looks at various global issues and offers multiple career opportunities from there. This program also incorporates my other interests in the social sciences and journalism. I would love to be an advocate for a non-profit organization like the SPCA which provides care and justice for animals. You can visit their website here: http://www.ontariospca.ca/ Also, here's a picture of my dog, Grover. I may be biased, but he's the best (and cutest) dog.

Other than animals, I love music. I began playing piano when I was four and after learning the basics I realized I didn't like the structure of theory, so I switched to guitar. I have three guitars. Two acoustic, and one electric, which I've been playing for nearly ten years now. I also began playing the flute in grade seven! My biggest musical influence, especially from an acoustic perspective is definitely Ed Sheeran. I would be super content with even a tenth of his talent, and is authentic personality is admirable.

Other my love for animals and music, I enjoy spending time with my friends, and binge watching series on Netflix.
