I have to say that the experience has been fun, exciting, challenging and a little stressful. It was a great feeling to hear that I\u2019d be competing at WorldSkills Lyon 2024. To be able to represent my country is such an honour and I\u2019ll compete to the best of my abilities to win for Canada. My biggest challenge will be that the other competitors might have a bit more hands-on practice and experience than me, however I&#8217;m looking forward to competing.\u00a0<\/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\">I play basketball on my time off and I also love to binge watch movies and TV shows.<\/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 style=\"font-size: 16px;\" data-contrast=\"auto\">I&#8217;d have to say the skills that have benefitted me in training and during the competition have been a mix of creativity and innovation, and problem solving. During the competition we had to be creative. Everyone had their own style and way of building the wall. And problem solving was important because we were told everything about our projects the day before or the day of, so then we had to try to figure out what to do to succeed in the competition.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\" data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Biography\u00a0\u00a0 I chose a trade as a career because I wanted to try doing something manual.
