What Brought Me to Meadowridge:
The strong sense of community, beautiful campus, and a mission- and vision-driven environment.

Interesting Fact:
I spent 88 days working on a farm in Australia to earn my second-year visa—an adventure that pushed me well out of my comfort zone and had me dodging some of the world’s deadliest snakes and spiders.

Most Important Lesson Learned:
Lead with kindness and compassion. Everyone carries unseen burdens, and a little empathy and understanding can go a long way.

Favourite Book:
The Happiest Man on Earth: The Beautiful Life of an Auschwitz Survivor by Eddie Jaku.

Favourite Pastime:
Travelling, finding secluded beaches, chasing sunsets, and trying new foods from around the world. I also enjoy exploring BC’s outdoors and unwinding with nature documentaries.

Looking Ahead:
I look forward to building meaningful connections within the Meadowridge community and finding ways to make a positive impact.
