Overcoming Adversity

I can discuss the many challenges of being a student-athlete at Providence College, as well as a professional hockey player. Specifically, I can talk about overcoming numerous injuries during my hockey career, including the events that led up to my retirement. In addition, I can touch upon my life after hockey and how I handled this large transition in my life.

On this same topic of overcoming adversity, I could also speak with children who have lost loved ones in their lives. I lost my mother to cancer when I was 18 years old, so I could discuss the many things I learned during this process and how it made me a stronger person.
