I didn\u2019t expect to place first at SCNC and learning that I\u2019ll be on WorldSkills Team Canada 2024 was surreal. My biggest challenge at WorldSkills Lyon 2024 might be nervousness due to the foreign location, and the scale of the competition. I\u2019ll follow this advice from my mentor Mark Reid: &#8220;performance = potential &#8211; distractions&#8221;.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Interesting fact\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">My life revolves around fashion, but I also love art, movies and learning French.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Skills for Success\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Problem solving has been the most instrumental skill for me.
