PACE — the Pack ACademic Edge

I actually enjoy school (not all the time but I do like it). As a student-athlete, I understand how difficult it can be to balance everything and school specifically can take a backseat or get super overwhelming. I want to help. Especially student-athletes in science, as they tend to switch to something different due to how overwhelming and confusing even first year can be. I would love to help my fellow science students navigate it.

I would like to go to medical school and become either a reconstructive plastic surgeon (specializing in face and neck or oncology) or an anesthesiologist (specifically cardiac).

I enjoy baking and creating recipes. In the summer I work in landscaping. My family has an Old English Sheepdog named Syd. He is 2.5 years old and super fluffy!

I believe that a crucial element of being a student athlete is a commitment to your studies. Sports don’t last forever and if we want to be the best we can be on and off the court/field we must hone our skills in every area available. I look forward to helping encourage a culture of excellence in the classroom, increasing our number of academic all-Canadians and helping to inspire a positive relationship with your studies.

Finish this year as an academic all-Canadian while enrolled in a master’s program. Own a house. Win the Canada West/USPORT Student Athlete Award.

I have a twin brother who plays volleyball for a different team in Canada West.

I want to be a PACE leader because I am passionate about supporting young and new athletes in finding their confidence not only on the field but in the classroom. I believe that academic success is just as important as athletic achievement and I want to help student athletes navigate the challenges of balancing both. By sharing my own enthusiasm for learning and the strategies that have helped me succeed, I hope to inspire others to embrace their studies with the same dedication and excitement they bring to their sport. Ultimately, I want to create a supportive environment where athletes feel empowered to reach their full potential academically while pursuing their athletic goals.

Medical School

I am a certified scuba diver with four ocean dives and I have completed two triathlons.

I have three sisters.

To keep myself and my teammates on top of our studies and to improve my leadership skills.

Get into medical school or go into engineering.

I have two dogs who are both named after star wars characters.

Over the years, I have figured out the best way I learn and retain information as an individual. I would like to be able to share that information with others and help them find their own unique methods of learning.

To graduate as an all-academic athlete and to become an RCMP officer.

I enjoy cooking as well as doing yardwork and landscaping.

Because I care about developing the student-athlete culture at TRU and being a PACE leader is an excellent opportunity for me to make a difference. I’d love to inspire first-year student athletes and help them find balance with sports, school and life. This is also a fantastic opportunity for me to develop my skills as a teacher and student as I can always learn from the student athletes I am tutoring and my fellow PACE leaders working alongside me.

To teach. whether that is as a post-secondary professor or at a high school level. I would consider being a coach as well because I want to help others become the best versions of themselves.

My dad was a biology teacher at South Kamloops Secondary in Kamloops and had almost 20 pets in his classroom including a tarantula, bearded dragon and two bunnies named Buster and Buck.

I want to be a PACE leader so I can help first-year student-athletes make the switch to university life by creating a welcoming space where they can ask questions, find resources and feel supported. I want to help them build confidence in balancing school and sports while showing that they are not alone in the process.

My future goal is to pursue a Juris Doctor degree and establish a career in law, specializing in either civil litigation or corporate law.

I have a twin.
