lived in Uxbridge, Ontario her whole life. She is currently
in her 2nd year at York University where she is on a full academic
and athletic scholarship. Once Katie graduates with her
undergraduate degree in business she plans to continue her education
further and complete her Masters in Business Administration (MBA).
Successful businesswomen like Susan Arnold have inspired Katie
to value education and set high goals for her future.
On top of education Katie also values her family. She is
the oldest of 4 siblings and believes that being the eldest has
truly taught her the meaning of being a role model. Each
day Katie strives to lead by example by being a strong, independent
and hard working woman. She feels very proud and fortunate
to live in a country where women are valued and given equal opportunities
to pursue their dreams. Katie believes today’s women can
be anything they want to be.
Katie’s favourite activities include playing hockey, which
she has played since she was eight years old. Her hard work
and practice over the years has earned her an athletic scholarship
at York University to play on the Women’s Ice Hockey team.
She also enjoys: yoga, hiking, running, biking and swimming.
Being active and physically fit is an important aspect of each
and every day. In the near future, Katie plans to run a
marathon.
Other interests include charity work. In particular, Katie
enjoys supporting causes that directly affect women such as women’s
cancers and women’s shelters.
In 2008, Katie was crowed Miss Teen Canada – World and now
hopes to be able to represent Canada as Miss Universe Canada 2010;
it would be a great honour and a dream come true.
