I grew up in a fairly small neighbourhood, which resulted in the budgeting for my school to be fairly low. Despite the fact of low budgeting, it allowed me to create many early-in-life social connections that have allowed me to maintain long-term friendships through the years, as well as having amazing teachers that truly cared for their students - which granted me a great education in the early development stages in life.

Although I'm not much into sports nowadays, I was fairly active during public/high school, and was a part of some soccer/broom hockey teams. I enjoyed them and they allowed me to realize the hard work and dedication that goes into the sports. Throughout high school I was more active in community involvement activities and trades festivals, such as community cleanings and carpentry/woodworking related championships in high-school.

High School for me was a defining point in life, creating steps towards my future career and potential social groups. As I thought I would be in the trades, I streamed into applied/college level courses as that was all that was required. In grade 12, I was able to do co-op for a semester with an electrical company that I would later begin my electrical apprenticeship with. This allowed specialization with my courses and potential future career.

Right after college I began my apprenticeship for a 309A Electrician license. This also came with the ability to partake in Trades school, as it was required to receive a full license. Being on the job site allowed me to improve practical and everyday skills, and the trade school allowed me to learn more about the how and why's, aka. the theories of how everything worked.

Here I am now, in a GAS transfer course for Forensic Psychology to UOIT. I always had a passion for psychology, and this was a great opportunity for me to pursue something else - although my passion for trades work still exists. This has been a huge change in my life, as I moved far to follow my studies. Being further away from my friends and family was hard at first, but meeting new people and doing new things has been a great experience so far!
