I'm a grade 12 student at East Northumberland Secondary School, in the small-town of Brighton, ON. I love being involved in many things at my school, because it's such an amazing school to be a part of!

I play school rugby and wrestling, and ball hockey in the summers. Next year I plan to go to Ottawa University, to begin my career as a nurse!

For the year of 2009, I represent my hometown of Brighton as Miss Teen Brighton, and have been fortunate to win last year's award of "Most Outstanding Youth" for Brighton.
