Next Level U Statement
As a junior golfer my goal is to play collegiate golf at a competitive 4 year institution where I can thrive in a competitive environment everyday and see how far I can take my golf game. Golf has majorly shaped my work ethic and competitive mindset. Thus, I’m driven to continue developing my skills, compete against great players, and contribute to a team that shares the same collective goals. Academically, I plan to pursue a degree in business or finance which will allow me to build a solid foundation for my future while balancing the demands of being a student athlete.

Play Style
Focus on GIR and giving myself as many opportunities as possible.
Mentally Strong on the course and good at bouncing back/dealing with adversities.
Mental Approach
I’m a very composed player who has experience in high pressure sports. This ultimately allows me to thrive in situations others would struggle to maintain the same level of confidence/performance in.
Short Game
- I’m a very creative player around the greens and love to manipulate the face with my wedges.
- My wedge setup allows me to be very versatile in different lies especially in Alberta conditions.
- I like to play by feel for anything under 30 yards but I still use my rangefinder for a rough idea on yardage.
Putting
- I believe that putting is undeniably what separates the goods from the greats.
- The majority of my practice time is on the putting green or around it.
- I’m a very consistent putter and rarely have streaky days.
Athletic Traits
- I take lots of pride in saying that my work ethic and passion for this sport are undeniably the reasons why I have progressed so fast in terms of golfing ability.
- Over the time I have been golfing, I’ve received many compliments on my work ethic from coaches, teachers, and random people. My work ethic in golf exists because of school and goals that influence me to try hard everyday.
- I regularly stay and practice for hours after every session with my academy in the winter and always leave last out of my group.
- In addition, playing over 140 rounds of 18 hole golf not including 9’s during the 6 month season here in Alberta further demonstrates my work ethic.

As a lifelong athlete who grew up playing soccer ever since I could first walk, I only started golfing during the summer of 2024. Prior to starting golf, I slowly lost my passion to play competitive soccer and my search for a new sport led me to golf as my father is the General Manager of a private course and also a holder of his PGA Of Canada Pro Card. In the short time that I’ve been playing golf, I’ve developed a passion and drive that I never had with soccer. Golf has become my life. Ultimately, my goal is to play collegiate golf at an institution that will allow me to continue my upwards growth and see how far I can go with the sport I love most. In the perfect world, I thrive in college golf and take my chances at going pro. If that doesn’t work out, I plan to return home with a degree in Business which will hopefully allow me to become a golf coach or work in the golf industry but ultimately gain 4 years of unforgettable memories and experience.
