Hi! I'm Giselle, a current Year 12 student at West Island School. I'm currently an IB student and a competitive swimmer, who also happens to love penguins. When I'm not in the pool, you might catch me breaking out in song, listening to music or helping out at church. I hope to spread kindness and joy to everyone that comes across our page!
