I was born and raised in Regina, Saskatchewan and spent a couple of years in Hong Kong when I was 4-5 years old. We moved back to Canada and settled in Mississauga for the next 12 years until I moved downtown to see all of your lovely faces every day!<\/p>\n
I started at U of T as an EngSci 1T7 but switched to Mechanical after a year for a more \u2018hands on\u2019 learning experience (also because EngSci is a living hell, heh). Mech has been a blast so far, and now I\u2019m pursuing a career in the aerospace or automotive industry after graduation.<\/p>\n

Outside of dragon boat, I\u2019m pretty serious about rollerblading, and love to bike, snowboard, sprint, and curl (that fun icy game with granite stones). I do as much as I can to stay active!<\/p>\n

During my first year on Iron Dragons in 2014-2015, I absolutely fell in love with the team and always found myself making plans to spend time together. I figured that being on management would provide me with the resources I needed to improve the ID experience for everybody, and after half a year, I really hope everyone\u2019s having a blast! Paddling is some serious business, so it\u2019s important to make some friends to have fun while you work hard!<\/p>\n

I simply love the technical aspect\u00a0of the sport and the constant opportunity for improvement. I think that the Iron Dragons are especially focused on technique, and the result is beautiful, controlled power. There\u2019s no better feeling than being in sync with 21 other people in a dragon boat.<\/p>\n
