Ethan O'Brien

I am hard working, creative and intelligent. I speak fluently in 2 languages (English and French). I am outgoing and enthusiastic. I enjoy physical labour, building and problem solving. I participate in multiple sports. In Rugby I represented our region in the Eastern Canadian Championships. I played varsity Volleyball, Hockey, and Rugby at Regiopolis-Notre Dame. Both my Volleyball and Rugby teams competed at the Provincial Championships. I have my SMART SERVE certification. Playing high level sports has taught me valuable time management, communication skills and resilience—but, most importantly, they fostered respect, patience and accountability.

I graduated with my Honours and French Immersion diploma. I earned a 95% in my grade 12 Leadership course.

Through high school I had traditional jobs such as working at Cineplex Odean, refereeing hockey and soccer and serving at The Secret Garden Inn. The jobs that I enjoyed most were ones that involved working with my hands and problem solving. I worked for Robinson Innovations as a farm hand and most recently with Student Village Housing. SVH has been the most rewarding as I was involved with many maintenance projects and learned a great deal.

I have graduated from Regiopolis-Notre Dame High School with Honours. I have my level 1 welding certificate through St.Lawrence College. I did this as a dual credit. I have my Marine Emergency Duties Course, Ladder training, WHMIS, Working at Heights and my Smart Serve certification. I also have my scuba diving certification as a Sport Diver.
