Next Level U Statement
I am 16 years old and in Grade 11 at White Oaks Secondary School in Oakville, Ontario. School and golf are my top priorities, I am driven by extraordinary results and constant growth and improvement.
I have been playing golf since 2020, but have only been playing competitively in tournaments since the summer of 2024. Since I started playing golf, I’ve seen rapid improvement. Just last year, I was shooting 100s, and have gotten that down to the low 80s consistently.
My ultimate goal with golf is to play at a collegiate level. I understand the importance of team-play that values independent success. At every turn, I challenge myself to be better and learn. I excel in an environment where everyone is pushing each other to progress and shine.
I understand that growth is not a linear process, which is why I am so motivated to get out there every day and do my very best. I smile in the face of adversity and challenge because I know that that’s what results in greatness.

I am a disciplined and focused individual who puts in the time and practice required to improve, and eventually, excel. My focus is on getting 1% better everyday. I pay attention to the small details within my mindset and swing, allowing me to make those minor adjustments that make all the difference in the big picture.

Leadership:
Golf Camp Assistant
In the summer of 2023, I worked alongside professional golf coaches to teach youth golfers technical skills to improve their game and confidence when on the course.
Sick Kids Initiative
When I was 10 years old, I had the initiative to start a rainbow-loom bracelet fundraiser for Sick Kids. I made and sold bracelets to make a total of $5000 to donate to Sick Kids.
Heart and Stroke Foundation Initiative
In grade 5, I raised over $2000 from friends, family, and others to donate to the Heart and Stroke Foundation for a school event. I was able to successfully raise the most money out of anyone from my school.

Average Scoring
- At the beginning of summer 2024, my average scoring ranged from 90-95 (with the occasional bad day)
- Now, only a few weeks later, I am consistently and consecutively shooting in the low 80s in tournaments, practice rounds, and casual rounds alike
