Music
I was part of the Peel District School Board's Regional Strings program in Grade 9 and 10 where I played the double bass. Although being a beginner at the instrument, I instantly fell in love with it and was placed in an intermediate class. I was part of our school orchestra, affectionately named Griffins Strings, as well as the pop strings ensemble where I would perform frequently at school events.
​
Alongside that, I play the bass clarinet and clarinet in my school's concert band and the bass guitar, guitar, clarinet, and bass clarinet for my school's jazz band.
​
Despite the COVID-19 lockdown, we still managed to perform and record music virtually, even being recognized on Twitter by Smash Mouth.

In grades 7 and 8, I played the bass clarinet for my school's concert band where we competed at many regional music competitions with distinguished judges.
