2011 International Olympic Academy Application!

I eat and breathe Canada every day!


I am extremely personable, cheerful team player! I have a natural ability to take the lead, but being very adaptable, I will fulfil any role needed in order to be successful. I love to learn and I’m constantly striving to soak up new things and expand my understanding of new places, people and experiences!



My bilingualism has proven to be my biggest asset and skill; allowing me to communicate with people across our nation and the world as well as being extremely useful in my day-to-day business interactions. Strong communication skills have been vital to my success in building strong, trusting relationships.

I thrive off passion.


I am extremely passionate about the things I love and I am in love with Canada and it’s people. My love affair for Canada and the Olympics has always been present...
but during my trip to the Vancouver Olympics I was able to connect my love of sports and competition with my passion for my home! Being able to partake in and experience the power of passion and sport and how it can take hold and unite a nation was the most incredible thing I’ve ever experienced.


It was then that I realized I needed to be involved in creating this experience for everyone.


This drive and need has led me on a Cross Canada train trip, stopping in every province, as well as a trip to Halifax to volunteer for the Canada Games.
While volunteering I was able to chat with a variety of people but it was the dedication, professionalism and enthusiasm displayed by our young athletes that solidified my need to be a part of Canada’s Olympic Movement and made me excited to begin my trip down this path.
