About Me

Introduction

My name is Laura Findlay. I live in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and have dual Canadian and British citizenship.

My goal after graduating from high school in 2015 is to blend my undergraduate studies with my passion for volleyball.

I currently play club volleyball for the U17 Fraser Valley VC Blitz (#3) and, as part of my school curriculum, participate in the volleyball academy at the Center of Excellence at the Richmond Oval. In the fall of 2014, my Senior high school volleyball team (SDSS) will be working towards defending Provincial gold medal titles earned consecutively in 2012 & 2013.

Volleyball is my passion. I have embraced every training opportunity and keep striving to be better. I recognize that along the way, I have been very fortunate to have had the guidance of outstanding mentors and coaches. As an athlete, my assets include a disciplined work ethic, excellent communication skills, an enthusiastic manner, and a positive energy; all of which contribute to my role as a solid team player.

As a French Immersion student, when I graduate I will be officially bilingual in English and French. I am currently in Grade 11 and will graduate in 2015. My average is 82% and my goal, in Grade 12, is 85%. My core Grade 12 subjects will be English (AP), Psychology (AP), Biology, French and Pre-Calculus. I am interested in obtaining a Bachelor of Arts (with a major in psychology, sociology, or criminology).

I hope that this website gives you insight into my love of volleyball, my athletic abilities and my academic direction. If there is anything I can do to help you decide whether I might be a good fit for your program, please don’t hesitate to ask via the contact information provided under Contact Me.   

Thank you so much for your time and consideration.
