| I am a grade 10 student at Riverview High School in Coxheath NS, where I play on the Varsity soccer team. Outside of school, I play hockey in the winter months for the Cape Breton County Minor Hockey Association as a defenceman. In the summer I play for the Cape Breton Selects Tier I soccer team as a fullback, play recreational tennis and hang out at my family's bungalow the rest of the time. I am a past medalist in our Regional Science Fair where I won a silver medal in the Junior division for my project on the analysis of tennis racquet vibration dampeners, a project inspired by my sports involvement. |
