Field Hockey has been in our family for many generations. My grandfather played in the 1972 Olympics for Uganda and my dad was also a part of the Canadian program. I started training with the Junior national squad when I was 16 and have learnt just how important commitment, dedication and hard work is when being a part of the Canadian program. When I'm not at the field training, I enjoy playing other sports. I am currently in the process of becoming an electrician
