Studying at the University of Toronto, Environmental St. and Stats, I make time for the little things in life. From swimming with sharks in the Caribbean to rocking the stage light in the evenings. I was born in Toronto, Canada. Not as fortunate as everyone in the beginning but through the hard work of my parents, they have been able to provide me with a life beyond imagination. They've inspired me to pursue a dream and take the risk, knowing that I may not make it. In 2000, we moved to a small island called Curacao. It was there where i found my love for the ocean and it's wildlife. After six years of convincing my parents to buy a guitar for me, my persistence finally paid off and from then I haven't stopped playing. Two years from then I was introduced to the world of Photography. All these things that I have started, I haven't stopped doing. I fall in love with everything I do. I test my capabilities on a daily basis, just as everyone should. SO why should I be chosen for this wonderful opportunity? Like all the other beautiful and talented people, to travel, experience new things, to learn that there is more to life than what the textbook has to offer.
