Tell us a little about yourself.  

My name is Natalie LaPrise. I’m just finishing up my grade 10 year in Hague, Sk. I love biking, baking, and learning new skills. I love listening to music-I have a playlist for nearly every occasion.

Why are you excited to participate in Shad? What are you most looking forward to?

I am excited to participate in Shad because I am looking forward to seeing new places, meeting new people, and gaining some insight on what I might want to pursue in my future. I’m really looking forward to growing as a person, pushing myself out of my comfort zone and embracing this new adventure.

What sparks your curiosity or interest in STEAM and/or entrepreneurship?

I love the idea of someday owning my own business. It was the entrepreneurship focus in Shad that particularly caught my attention. I hope to take what I am passionate about and make a meaningful life for myself and others.

How do you envision your future?

I’m not sure what the future holds and I think that this is why this opportunity to attend Shad is going to be so beneficial for me. I have so many interests that the possibilities seem endless.
