Tesse Kuhelj participating on twelve different athletic teams around the school and community while being a full-time grade twelve student might seem like an all encompassing task on its own, but Tesse manages to still make plenty of time for community involvement and mentorship programs.
While competing competitively in hokey, soccer, volleyball, and cross-country—and finishing with a silver medal on the provincial level—she also spearheaded an anti-bullying team at her high school, Father John Redmond. The initiative, known as “Redmond Respects”, has had a strongly positive impact within the school and the greater community and is demonstrative of her leadership and organizational abilities.
After graduation Tesse plans on attending the concurrent education program at Queens University and becoming a teacher.
