Born and raised in Ottawa, Ontario!
I鈥檓 double majoring in social work and digital media.
The most interesting thing I鈥檝e learned at Redeemer isn鈥檛 actually something I learned in a classroom. Being at Redeemer, I learned the importance of community and how it鈥檚 important to surround yourself with people who will influence and challenge you to better yourself.
The Redeemer community is amazing, and I鈥檓 so blessed to be a part of it!
I stopped growing in Grade 6 and I鈥檝e been 5 ft tall since then. Growing up I鈥檝e always played sports, but my main sports were volleyball and basketball. With that being said, I think one thing that makes me unique is that I play sports made for tall people.
Coming to Redeemer, I had a difficult time transitioning to university and leaving home, as well as leaving family and friends. Since I was little, I was taught that when life gets rough I turn to God, but during this time I forgot to do just that. When I finally realized I couldn鈥檛 do this alone, I went back and found my identity and strength through Christ. I think it was during this time that I realized my faith is so important.
When I see Jesus face to face, I want to ask 鈥淗ow do you love so easily?鈥
My favourite thing about Redeemer is the community! When I would walk to class, I always made sure to leave my dorm five minutes early so I had time to talk to people in the commons, or have conversations in the hallway. The Redeemer community is amazing, and I鈥檓 so blessed to be a part of it!
