FIFA World Cup #3 ☑️⚽️✨ 

Four years ago, I flew to Qatar to work in media operations. I turned 20 while I was there, just a girl from Canada with a dream of making a name for herself in sports media.

Before I left, I made myself one promise: the next World Cup I worked would be as a reporter.

Four years later, I got to live that dream in my home country, in my home city.

I got to tell stories that deserved to be heard. I got to spotlight the smaller nations with the biggest heart, the players creating change, and the moments that reminded me why I fell in love with journalism in the first place.

I love this job.

But if you had asked me four years ago what my career would look like today, I never would’ve guessed the impact social media would have on my life. Building a community with all of you has become one of the greatest gifts of this journey.

Because of this community, I was able to send my family and friends to five World Cup matches, something that felt impossible when I first boarded that flight to Qatar.

It’s funny. You spend years chasing one dream, convinced it’s the finish line. Then one day you get there... and you realize it was never the destination. It was proof that you’re capable of dreaming even bigger.

So if you’re working toward something that feels impossibly far away, keep going. The version of you who’s living that dream is already rooting for you.

As for me... it’s time to set a new goal.

See you next year, Brazil. 🇧🇷⚽️✨
