WHERE DID YOUR LOVE OF HOCKEY COME FROM? My love for hockey really came from my family. My dad played, and both of my siblings played, so hockey has always been a big part of my life. I’ve been playing for as long as I can remember, and I basically grew up at the rink. It’s always been my favourite place to be and has always felt like a second home to me.

WHO HAS HAD THE MOST INFLUENCE IN YOUR LIFE? My parents have had the biggest influence on my life. They’ve always supported me in everything I’ve wanted to do, while also teaching me the importance of hard work and staying grounded. They have made many sacrifices to give me the opportunities I’ve had, especially through hockey and have always been the people I can count on.
WHAT ARE YOUR CAREER GOALS AFTER UNIVERSITY? After University, I’d love the opportunity to continue playing, potentially overseas in Europe. I’d also like to continue my education after my psychology degree and pursue a career in some type of health care or forensics. I want a career where I can work with people, make a difference and enjoy what I do.
WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT BEING A HUSKIE? Getting to do the thing I love most every single day alongside my best friends. Being a Huskie gives you such a close group of people around you, and getting to compete together and represent the university makes it very special.
