About me
When I'm not engrossed in my schoolwork, you can usually find me playing basketball or team handball or working out whenever I get the chance. When I want to keep it more chill, I'm probably at home watching a Marvel movie or TV show or playing video games like The Last of Us, Uncharted, or The Legend of Zelda. I also enjoy downhill mountain biking in the summers or simply taking a drive to go and sit by the water.
My personal journey navigating the difficulties of academia with a learning disability and the difficult mental toll of rehabbing from countless sports-related injuries are just a few of the (many) reasons I felt drawn to counselling.
