Summary
Sabrina Pontello, a gifted athlete who has always been open to new challenges in all sports, including activities she was new to like lacrosse and hockey, settled on her first love of volleyball. It was here that she flourished, as first a player and then giving back as a coach. Many leadership and extra-curricular opportunities also came her way, and she embraced them all, finding a genuine love and passion for writing, drama, and all things media. The volleyball court may be secondary as she pursues her dream of a career in the film industry, but do not be surprised if she is on the side of the court as well, mentoring young volleyball players as a coach. In her own words: “If I was granted this scholarship it would help me pay for my tuition and fees. My parents are soon to be supporting both my brother and I in post-secondary education, and he is planning to go to medical school which is another great financial burden.”
