Biography <\/strong>
\nI\u2019ve always had a passion for working on mechanical equipment and vehicles. Ever since I was old enough to ride a dirt bike, I\u2019ve been hooked. What excites me most about this industry is how it\u2019s constantly evolving, with new innovations making equipment more powerful and effective. My dream is to one day own my own shop.<\/p>\n

I first discovered the Skills competitions through one of my instructors, who encouraged me to give it a try. Competing has been both stressful and exhilarating, but also an incredible experience.<\/p>\n

When I found out I\u2019d be competing at WorldSkills Shanghai 2026, I was in complete disbelief. I never imagined I\u2019d make it beyond the provincial level, and now I get to represent Canada on the world stage. I\u2019m beyond grateful for this opportunity. I know my biggest challenge will be managing my time and performing under intense pressure, but I\u2019m ready to take it on. More than anything, I\u2019m excited to meet competitors from around the globe and experience the city of Shanghai.<\/p>\n

Interesting Fact <\/strong>
\nI\u2019ve been playing the cello for 16 years, and when I\u2019m not making music, you\u2019ll usually find me on the golf course or under the hood of a classic vehicle. Out of everything I enjoy, my truck is hands down my favourite thing in the world.<\/p>\n

Skills for Success <\/strong>
\nReading, problem-solving, and adaptability have been essential throughout my Skills journey. They\u2019ve allowed me to quickly learn, adjust, and gain a deeper understanding of the equipment I may encounter in Shanghai.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
