| I am a grade 10 student at Lockerby Composite School, in Sudbury, Ontario. This is my fourth CWSF and I am passionate about science. I volunteer at the local science center in my community, where I teach scientific principles to youth. I enjoy reading, playing piano, and spending time with my dog Niko as pastimes. |
