The Full Story
I was born in Canada and spent most of my childhood there enjoying the culture and community found in French-Canadian Quebec, Canada. Living on the shores of the village lake, I acquired a sense of curiosity and thirst for adventure. Looking back, I can't think of a day where there wasn't some kind of outdoor escapade with my sisters and cousins.
After most of elementary school, my family decided to move to Florida where I enrolled in my first dance classes at Studio 5-6-7-8. I fell in love with and dance became my passion. Spending up to 25 hours dancing some weeks, dance forced me to learn how to manage my time and learn to love exercising and staying in shape.
With a successful resume while applying to universities, I was extremely proud to be awarded the John C. Pace, Jr. Honors Scholarship from the University of West Florida Kugelman Honors Program. With this scholarship, I would be able to go away from home for college and eventually graduate from my university debt-free! The scholarship also allots a fund for recipients to use towards a summer experience which I will now be using to cover the costs of my trip to Ireland.
