My favorite food is sushi. I absolutely love it and would travel hours to get some high-quality sushi. Over the summer I won the national championship in football! People don’t know that I am a great football player and big-time sushi eater. I grew up near Quebec City in a small town. Skiing has always been a major part of my life and I am obsessed with it. I wanted to take my skiing to another level, so I left my hometown and joined a high-level ski team 2 hours away from my house. My family moved with me and supported my passion. My experience on that ski team went very well, which led me and my family to make the decision to come to Northwood. I came to Northwood as a junior to pursue my passion for skiing and, hopefully, one day commit to a Division 1 ski program. My long-term goal is to ski at the Olympics and finding the right college will take me closer to my dream.

My Northwood experience has been amazing so far. I have made friends with people that I will be friends with for the rest of my life. I have had my highs and lows, which have altered my Northwood experience for the better and worse. Despite the negatives, I have grown as a person a lot. Even my parents agree I have grown a lot, which makes me proud.

I have one more year at Northwood which means I have time to make an impact. My main goal is to work on the theme of unity and help the Northwood community in any way possible. The first thing I want to do is start a 5 player Flag Football League. 3 guys and 2 girls per team. I am going to randomize the teams which will intergrade skiers, soccer players, hockey players, and independents. I am really excited about this league, and I am excited to make Northwood a better place.
