I've got a big heart for collecting obscure coins, telling others that I bake (without the fact that I'm below amateur), and appreciating all sorts of art! And I guess philanthropy. And optionally uplifting community. And maybe lending a helping hand.

FUNDRAISING MEMBER

My name is Kaitlin, I'm 17 years old, and I'm a senior at Forest Heights. I'm from The Bahamas, but I relocated to Canada in 2018. My strongest subject in school is English, and I would describe myself as humble, caring, hardworking, & determined. While I may come across as shy and reserved initially, I am a bit more open once I feel comfortable. In terms of interests/hobbies, I enjoy reading and watching movies. My goal is to become a corporate lawyer, so I am a Suits (tv show) addict. I firmly believe in the importance of self-care and I try to make a conscious effort to check in with myself regularly. I think it’s crucial for everyone to prioritize their well-being, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual.
