“This is my first year at Northwood, and so far, so good. I came here for freestyle skiing. It is so amazing to be able to ski every morning with my awesome team. I live in Quebec, Canada where there is minimal skiing, so Whiteface has been a blessing.
“At home, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and girlfriend. I also love hockey, as I used to play AAA back home before coming here. I have two cats, one dog, and one turtle at home. I cherish my cats over the other two pets. My family adopted a turtle into our home about 6 years ago. He helps bring the family together. We have a schedule for who must change the tank water each month.
“My brother Victor came to Northwood with me this year, and we oddly do not spend much time together. It is interesting how even though we are twin siblings, we have our different friend groups. I like to watch hockey games here in Lake Placid. It reminds me of my AAA days. The food here is tasty and always hits hard after a good workout or training session at the mountain.
“Northwood really puts academics before sports, which I am a fan of. My favorite class is U.S. History, taught by my favorite teacher, Mr. Shergold.”
