"Humble and proud of who I am and where I come from: Mallard Manitoba & Cote First Nation."
"Growing up, I didn’t have that person to look up to in terms of representation of myself, who faced the same challenges I had in the sport of Hockey. Using my platform to influence the next generation is important to me. The Classroom Champions Circle Program gives me an opportunity to give back to my Indigenous community - connecting me with them everyday to share my experiences."

"I believe that the success I have had in my life is due to the mentors that helped me along the way. Classroom Champions is the most meaningful and impactful way that I can help be a mentor to children and make a positive impact in the lives of the next generation."
