| I was born in Montana in 1992 and have lived in several states. My family moved to Thunder Bay, Ontario in 2001. I am in grade 10 at St. Ignatius High School. During school, I am active in science fair, math competitions, the debate team, and the mountain biking club. Outside of school I train with a Tae Kwon Do competition team and will be testing for my red belt soon. I enjoy biking, hiking, skiing and everything outdoors. My family and I have traveled all over North America, Asia, and Europe. Last year I lived in Sweden for six months for my dad's work, and then traveled around Europe for two months. This year I hope to get a job and learn more about the many science based career choices available to me. |
