“I am currently in my fourth year at Simon Fraser University. I am studying towards a Bachelor of Science in Physical Geography. I was previously studying earth sciences, but I decided to switch to physical geography because it has a larger focus on the environmental issues that we face today. I plan to finish my degree in the next year or so and then begin a masters program.
Since receiving the Nikkei Youth Athletics Bursary in 2016, I played senior womens softball for a few years but then decided to focus on work and school. I do plan to return to sports, whether it be coaching or playing, because I believe participating in athletic programs provides you with valuable skills and experiences that will continue to benefit you for the rest of your life.”
