What is your favourite inspirational quote?
“If you believe in a God who controls the big things, you have to believe in a God who controls the little things. It is we, of course, to whom things look “little” or “big”.”  – Elisabeth Elliott
 
What is a little known fact about yourself?
Someday I would love to live and work in New York City.
Why do you think you make a great Schulich Leader?
I think that I’ll make a great Schulich Leader because of all of the life experience that I have already obtained. I definitely have gone through some challenges in my life, but they have just motivated me to be the best person that I can be. I have worked very hard to have gotten where I am right now, and without a doubt I appreciate the opportunity that this Scholarship has given me more than words can say. I have high hopes for the future, and I plan on giving back as much as I possibly can.
