I was born and raised in Hamilton, Ontario, where I went to Ancaster High School and completed the International Baccalaureate (IB) program. I attended McMaster University for the Integrated Biomedical Engineering and Health Sciences program from 2021-2022, only to realize that the school and the program were not necessarily for me (more on this later). In June of 2022, I officially accepted my offer to UWaterloo’s Kinesiology program. A place, and program, that I had been thinking about long before I made the switch.
