Lucas Secondary School in London, Ontario. At school, I am involved with DECA, science olympics, reach for the top, and the swim team. I also enjoy music and play piano and clarinet. I have a strong interest in science and plan on pursuing a career in a STEM field. This is my third time participating in the Thames Valley Science and Engineering Fair, and my second time at CWSF. I\u2019m really grateful for this opportunity and would encourage anyone interested in science to try it out!","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-16684","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO Pro 5.0.5 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"max-image-preview:large\" \/>\n\t<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/tvsef.ca\/?page_id=16684\" \/>\n\t\t<meta name=\"generator\" content=\"All in One SEO Pro (AIOSEO) 5.0.5\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Youth Science London\/Thames Valley Science &amp; Engineering Fair - Grade 4-12 Science Engineering Fair.
