Fun Facts

My greatest passion in life is writing. I love to write culture essays, short stories, blogs and I'm currently writing two books I hope to publish next year. I also play both the guitar and saxophone and enjoy writing songs. When I'm not writing I enjoy playing hockey. I start playing when I was five years old and haven't stopped.
