The AIS education scholarship is beneficial to me because it relieves part of the financial burden of balancing education with high performance sport. Education and a career away from hockey is very important to me as it maintains a healthy balance in my life and removes some of the stress about life after sport. I love playing for my country but once it is over, I want to be able to transition comfortably and be able to contribute to my community.
I am currently studying to become a medical sonographer, an area I am excited to pursue, as it is an important imaging modality that is constantly evolving as technology continues to improve.
