Personal Statement

Imagine a puzzle large enough to encase the world. Each piece representing a unique individual, with colours and designs related only to one individual. With students in the limelight, it is possible to see why a puzzle accurately represents our journey through elementary and secondary school.

I believe that all students have an equal potential for success, no matter the size or shape of their piece added to the puzzle that is this world. School attempts to drive that potential forward as we spend a substantial portion of our lives learning and growing in this environment.

Students, I speak directly to you when I say, leave your mark. That’s what I’ve learned in all my years in elementary and secondary school. Whether it is through being named captain of your school’s basketball team, or simply joining a new club or council, never be afraid to express your interests.

No voice should go unheard.

Through my work here at YCDSB, I will strive to voice all student needs and concerns to the best of my ability.

I am eager to hear from students, so please feel free to contact me at any time via email, phone, or Twitter. I am always willing to listen to your ideas, thoughts, or concerns because I believe that every voice holds great power that can, without a doubt, change the world.
