"I am truly honored and blessed to be awarded the McDaniel Corporate Partnered Scholarship. This support will allow me to fully dedicate myself to both my studies and athletic pursuits. This award significantly reduces the financial stress of being a multi-sport student-athlete, allowing me to focus on excelling academically in energy engineering and athletically in my training. It also brings me closer to my long-term goals of representing Canada at the 2028 Olympics in speed climbing and making a significant impact in the energy industry, with the aspiration of one day having my own company."
