Born and raised in Halifax Nova Scotia and a member of the Mi’kmaq nation coming from Membertou, I devoted much of my childhood to playing competitive sports, with a particular focus on soccer. After graduating from Citadel High School, I accepted an offer to play Division I soccer in Memphis, Tennessee, where I competed and studied Finance for two years. I later transferred to Dalhousie University to complete my degree and continue playing soccer at the university level, graduating in 2026. Alongside my studies, I have completed summer internships in banking and finance in Halifax, Vancouver, and Toronto.
