Next Level U Statement
I am 17 years old and in Grade 12 at Blyth Academy in Mississauga, Ontario Canada. I’m very focused on my school in addition to my golf and I maintain a 4.0 GPA.
I was introduced to golf in 2020 and switched from hockey to golf in 2022. 2024 is my third year competing and I have consistently improved my scoring average each year and am now ranked in the top 15 in Ontario Junior Girls Rankings (juniorgolfscoreboard.com). I have had 4 Top 10 finishes in my first four starts this year with a scoring average of 74. Most recently I competed in an AJGA in Wichita and scored my PB round with a 68, to win low round of the final day. I finished 10th in that tournament after having to qualify.
My dream is to play collegiate golf. I completely understand the success that can be achieved within a team and I also enjoy the pressure of relying on myself as an individual. Whenever I’m at the course I am there to improve and build on my game.
