PACE — the Pack ACademic Edge

I have seen my teamates struggle in classes in the past. Being a PACE leader, I have more reach and ability to help them.

To become a CPA and make the Dean's list every semester.

I am ambidextrous.

I actually enjoy school (not all the time but I do like it). As a student-athlete, I understand how difficult it can be to balance everything and school specifically can take a backseat or get super overwhelming. I want to help. Especially student-athletes in science, as they tend to switch to something different due to how overwhelming and confusing even first year can be. I would love to help my fellow science students navigate it.

I would like to go to medical school and become either a reconstructive plastic surgeon (specializing in face and neck or oncology) or an anesthesiologist (specifically cardiac).

I enjoy baking and creating recipes. In the summer I work in landscaping. My family has an Old English Sheepdog named Syd. He is 1.5 years old and super fluffy!

I want to be able to create more connections with other student-athletes, and help students maintain a good work/life balance and create good study habits. In particular, helping first year students adjust to TRU is my greatest hope.

My future goals either involve coaching at the high school or college level, a career in computer science, or a combination of those.

I was born in Ontario before I moved to BC at age 5.

I want to be able to welcome, guide, and support the younger athletes coming to TRU.

Finish my degree this year as a 5-time academic all Canadian.

I travelled Europe for 3 weeks this summer!

I want to be a PACE leader to work on my ability to educate and work with others in an educational setting. I believe that my leadership on the court has developed from experience and hope that changing the setting will allow me to grow as a leader. I think that PACE is a great envirnment to work with others outside of a sports setting and develop new teamwork skills. I am excited to get to know more athletes in my last year at TRU.

I hope to pursue a career in health care where I can care for others, while challenging myself in a health focused environment. I really enjoy solving problems and learning about the body and hope to combine those into a career.

I used to figure skate.

I enjoy spending time with and supporting other student-athletes. PACE has also caught my interest due to the variety of activies outside of the regular course load (workshops, etc.). I am looking forward to working, learning, and cooperating on a team with shared interests.

I want to pursue a career in neuroscientific research paired with running a business that ties the neuroscientific work with sports-related applications (e.g., training methods, performance-enhancing products, etc.)

I tend to complain frequently about the lack of density in Canadian bread.

I wanted to be a PACE Leader to help others in their transition to university or with their academics, and in general, to help them become better versions of themselves.

To have a PhD in Psychology and have a family.

I was snorkeling when a shark attack occurred at a beach 10 minutes away. I broke my wrist in my first season. I am allergic to the sun. I used to compete in CrossFit competitions.

Being a student-athlete is not an easy feat. It is important to build study skills that work for you and your busy schedule. I want to help my fellow student-athletes with their transition to university education and athletics. I love helping people and connecting, so feel free to come say hi, and bring any questions you may have. If I don’t have the answer, I can find someone who does!

After graduation, I plan on working as a Registered Nurse in pediatrics, emergency medicine, or maternity. (I still need to decide!) I am also thinking of returning to school to get my Nurse Practitioner or Master's degree once I have established my career and family.

I was voted “Most School Spirit” in high school! If you’ve ever met me, I’m sure you wouldn’t be surprised.

I enjoy helping other students academically and like to contribute towards the Wolfpack student community.

To become completely fluent in French

I like swimming and have been working on a pine cone collection over the summer.
