My favorite StFX sporting moment to date is…?
I didn't play much first year and remember the first game I started in my second year in early season again UPEI. Something wasn't clicking with our team so our coach decided to change up the starting line-up. I remember stepping on the field and knowing that it was my shot, I believe that was my turning moment in my career at X.

If I could meet any famous person it would be…?
Ellen Degeneres of course, I actually think she's hilarious.

My favorite Disney movie or character is…?
Definitely Finding Nemo.

My biggest pet peeve is…?
Being Late. I'm an early person. I like to be one of the first people there, wherever I'm going, especially to the field.

My dream job is…?
Lead crazy wilderness and canoe trips. I love camping and the outdoors. Maybe one day have my own business doing that.

My biggest fan is…?
My brother, but I'm his biggest fan as well, so there is mutual love!
