Summary
Christine Neatby has been a leader in athletics and academics. Her leadership skills have grown through mentoring younger students about her experiences in the Advanced Placement and Gifted/Enrichment program and writing for the program’s newsletter.
Neatby received high honours in this rigorous program in all four years and earned the highest mark in anthropology in grade 11. She was also a leader on the field and on the ice as the captain and MVP of the varsity girls’ hockey team, a force to be dealt with on the Burlington Junior Barracudas provincial hockey team and co-captain for the Mimico U-19 field lacrosse team. Despite her commitment to extra-curricular and co-curricular activities, Neatby took the time to mentor and coach the Mimico U-11 and U-13 field lacrosse teams.
She is currently studying life sciences at the University of Toronto to pave the way for a career in medicine.
