Outside of school, I am busy with competitive soccer and piano. I am currently preparing for my Royal Conservatory of Music 10 exam in piano. Over the years, I have won many Kiwanis Music Festival prizes as well as numerous auditioned scholarships at the Maritime Conservatory of Performing Arts. I have won 2 Royal Conservatory of Music Gold Medals awarded for the highest piano mark obtained in Atlantic Canada for 2015 and 2017 (RCM6 & RCM8). On the soccer pitch, my Tier-1 U13AA club team is the reigning 2018 NS Provincial Champions. I currently train and compete with my U15AAA club team as well as the Nova Scotia U14 Provincial Team.
