INTERESTS

• Avid sports fan: I love playing sports (hockey, soccer, snowboarding, golf), and I’m the only person I know who grew up in the Greater Toronto Area and is a lifelong fan. • Passion for cooking: I have always loved cooking, and I know how to prepare many of the meals my Italian grandparents made for me growing up like homemade lasagna in the summer and cured meats in the winter. I also love trying cuisines from around the world, and my all-time favourite food is sushi. • My favourite TV show: I am the biggest Spongebob Squarepants fan you will ever meet.
