Christopher has an interest in music that crosses over varying instruments. He has learned to play the flute, the steel pan and now the piano. Christopher was part of the steelpan band at his church and contributed his talents to other churches such as White Oak in Mississauga. He also played at events for the Tropicana Community Centre in Scarborough, which is where he learned how to play the instrument. It was there that Christopher realized he enjoyed playing percussion instruments.

Before attending secondary school, Christopher took the opportunity to volunteer at the summer camp Cairn’s “Camp in Your Own Backyard” program for children ages 5-15. There he supervised younger children requiring special attention through one-on-one sessions. Christopher eventually had 45 hours worth of volunteer service before he had even started high school, thus exceeding the necessary 40 of community service.

Christopher would like to focus specifically on genetics during his time at the University of Windsor so that he can pursue a career in genetic counselling or genetic engineering.
