I am a Canadian junior tennis player who is currently ranked No. 1 in U18 singles in the province of New Brunswick.

I started playing tennis when I was seven-years-old. I fell in love with the sport while on vacation in Mexico. My father, a former pro hockey player who loved playing tennis, decided to sign me up for the recreational program at the Quispamsis Tennis Club. At nine, I entered my first competition. For many years I decided to balance playing hockey, baseball, badminton, and tennis. I competed at a very high level in hockey, but at the age of 13 I decided I wanted to chase my dream of playing college tennis.

Where we live is not optimal for tennis and I like to compare it to trying to be a pro hockey player from Jamaica. To keep up with other competitive juniors in Canada, when I started, I had to train in my garage, on my own with a ball machine or with my father feeding me balls at the outdoor courts. We have no indoor facility where I live.

It is a dream of mine and I have made many sacrifices to play tennis, but I love the sport. I am a hard worker who wants to get better every time I step on the court. Please review my information. I think I would be a great asset to your team and your school. Thank you!
