Becoming a Golden Hawk means more than just cheering on our (really good) varsity teams – it means being a student who cares about your community, who works hard in the classroom, and who takes advantage of all the learning opportunities that can happen outside the classroom, too.

Passions and interests
I love to visit new places and see new things from trails along the Grand River to checking out nearby shops. I also love animals, dogs are my favourite, but I live in a house with two rats and two guinea pigs! I also enjoy volunteering in the Brantford community and getting to know community members in the downtown.

Why did you choose Laurier?
I chose Laurier because I was interested in receiving an education in something that both interested me and allowed me to help others. Specifically, I chose the Brantford campus because the close-knit community made me feel welcome and comfortable stepping out of my comfort zone to pursue new opportunities and clubs. As well, I loved the idea of apartment-style residences that provided me with privacy and independence while still sharing a space with roommates.
