I am a third year from Danbury England. I first heard of Northwood from two former students, and I was quickly interested in what Northwood had to offer compared to other schools.
I started playing hockey when I was 5 years old. I used to go to public skate with my dad. One day I signed up for an intro to hockey tryout and went from there. I instantly grew a passion for the sport and knew it was something I wanted to continue. Northwood has given me the opportunities to grow as a person and a student-athlete. A moment that will stick with me is being able to play in my first game with the Prep team. Starting on the high school team my first year, then varsity my second, I always wanted to play on the prep team.
I am extremely grateful for Coach Felhaber and Coach Miller who have had the most impact on my experience here. They have been with me every step of the way and put a smile on my face every day; I owe it to them for assisting me with my development over the past three years.
Fitness is a big part of my life and I enjoy helping others through this. I have successfully opened a fitness account on Instagram and started the summer at 5,000 followers and am now at 25k. I have accomplished a lot of self-set goals for myself and am looking forward to continuing this.
After graduation, I intend to play junior hockey and continue to develop my online fitness programs to eventually open my own gym. I will miss the memories and friendships I have made, particularly as an international student. It will be different not seeing those people every day, but hopefully we will stay in touch.
