I'm a 22 year old recent graduate of Iowa State University where I earned my B.S. in Anthropology alongside my minor in Sustainability and now continuing my career as professional tennis player. I was born and raised in London, Ontario and have been playing tennis since the age of 4, where I was first introduced to the sport by my parents. I earned a full ride scholarship to play Division 1 Tennis despite being told I would never play at such a high level. During my college career I was consistently a key player, I began playing at the #2 position in singles my freshman year followed by the #1 spot for the remainder of my career, while playing #1 doubles all throughout. I finished my career as one of the players and athletes to attend Iowa State. I became the first tennis player to earn a national ranking climbing as high as top 100 in the nation while beating players as high as top 5. During the 2016-2017 year I became one of the top 10 Canadian's playing in the NCAA. I've overcome many obstacles along my journey to get to where I am today and know the true value in working hard to reach your goals and things don't come easy. You need to put in the work to get to where you want to be. Just as any business or company has to work hard to make a statement and build their way up to the top. Here is a quote I created about what I believe success to be. I believe that success is not a destination nor is it a clear bright light seen shining towards you at the end of a dark tunnel waiting to be reached. No, I believe success is more so a continuous journey of progression, a series of lights lining your path just waiting to be turned on and with each obstacle, discouragement and failure you persevere, a light on your path is lit showing how far you've come, not how far you have left.
