How’d you get here? Well, 5 years ago I hopped on a plane leaving Victoria BC, and arrived here in Ottawa as a baby-faced first year. Since then I would like to think it has been a simple and logical journey up until this point; a climb to the top, if you will. After being so heavily involved with JDC Central on the Carleton campus for the past two years I was terrified by prospect of graduating and giving up the JDCC dream. Thankfully being a part of the OC has allowed me the opportunity to stay involved with this amazing competition. Needless to say, JDCC is having a tough time getting rid of me!
Responsibilities for JDCC 2012: My co-chair, Christine Jackson, and I are responsible to making sure that JDC Central is the most unbelievable weekend ever. Whether that is ensuring that we maximize the number of out of body experience or that Party Rock Anthem is played as often as possible, my job is to make JDCC unforgettable. In particular though, I am responsible for the internal operations of JDCC including sports, social, debate, academics, logistics and events. If it is happening the competition weekend, my team and I are responsible for it.
What is your favorite Disney movie? That is a tough question. I am a pretty big Disney fan and enjoy all of the movies. But, I suppose if I were to pick one over any of the others I would have to say Lion King. It has a great story, unreal characters and an awesome musical score. Plus as my friends can attest to the fact that I love singing the Circle of Life (but mostly just the opening section of it!)
