Cricket

I've been playing competitive sports since early elementary school. With cricket being the main focus I moved up the ranks over the years and currently play for West Indians Cricket Club who have a team in the S9 division (the highest division in all of North America).

Along with club cricket, I've been invited to train with the Vancouver Knights in the GT20 Canada league, training alongside Andre Russell, Shoaib Malik, Rassie Van Der Dussen and more.

Aside from cricket I play competitive ball hockey, basketball, soccer and softball. In ball hockey I was part of teams that went to Provincials and Nationals, one of which won the whole thing.

I've been teaching in the York Region District School Board since 2018. I've mainly focused on teaching the intermediate division for the last 3 years. During the summers I've also worked in the High School Summer School program.

Sports have been an integral part of my life, helping me cope with stress, build lasting relationships and have fun. Through the various sports I played I was able to be challenged pushing myself to my limits. It allowed me to escape the pressures and stresses of the world all while trying to achieve a common goal. I have built many relationships through sports, somewhere I was able to provide my knowledge and mentor future stars.

My background in sports goes hand in hand with teaching. I got into teaching for the sole reason of giving back to the community and future of our world. I wanted to share my knowledge, experiences and help guide students to aspire and reach their goals. I've worked with many students of various backgrounds and skill sets to help them achieve their goals.
