What brought you to StFX?
Lived here all my life, but the X ring made me stay!

What has been your best moment in a StFX uniform so far?
Every moment. I love putting on the X uniform. Whether it’s wearing blue and white at Homecoming or just to support the other teams, or at AUS wearing those X tattoos!

What are you most looking forward to this season?
Getting back together with my teammates and Lindsay and Sasho’s baby boy Pierce! ?

Who has been the most influential person in your life (and why)?
My figure skating coach Connie Frazee. She taught me a lot about life and how to keep my head in a positive mindset all through the tough times.

One thing I cannot live without is…?
My phone or my family… or both.

My dream vacation destination is…?
I would LOVE to go to Greece. Someday…

Tell us one thing that fans may not know about you?
I competed in the 2007 Canada Games in Whitehorse for figure skating. I would do anything to do it again!
