My nicknames are…?
Chels, C or teamprovojr

My favorite moment to date as a StFX student-athlete is…?
I'd have to say when we won the game against UPEI at home after coming off of a tough loss the day before.

If I could be StFX President for one day I would…?
Make everything free and no classes, we can all do nothing together. 

A unique talent or skill I have is…?
Everyone seems to love my dancing and lip sync from the charity event, so I guess that's one, and I used to be a gymnast so I can still tumble and also play piano.

My biggest pet peeve is…? ‎
Hearing people chew when they eat, especially hearing the lip smacking.

My favorite childhood memory is…?
My favorite elementary school teacher let us turn him into a human hot dog which was a lot of fun and since we were kids, he wasn't the only human hot dog but it was a lot of fun.

My dream job is…? ‎
If I could do nothing as a dream job I would because I can be very lazy, but playing in the WNBA, or I would also enjoy being a pediatrician(because I love kids) or becoming a forensic psychologist.         

Something interesting about my hometown is…?
It's the oldest and largest Black community in Nova Scotia.
