Profile Final


300 Word Profile

“As a kid, it was easy for me to make friends,” says first year Laurier student Tiffany Warford. This is no surprise considering the year she entered high school was the year she left her eighth middle school.

Making new friends in unfamiliar surroundings has become second nature.

Born July 17th, 1990 in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Tiffany was only four when her family moved to Brampton, Ontario. Today she lives on her own for the first time in Brantford as she begins her studies in Journalism and English.

Living in a new city is anything but an unfamiliar experience for Tiffany, as her family was constantly on the move when she was a child. They were, “looking for the right house, one we could call our home.” Eventually, the Warfords settled down, but Tiffany looks back on the experience with mixed emotions.

“I enjoyed it at the time, but as I look back, I never really formed long lasting relationships.” On the other hand however, she says the experience, “improved my social skills,” and ultimately, “made me who I am today.”

In high school Tiffany had a passion for playing field hockey, but since her knee broke causing years of complications, she’s had to content herself with other activities. These include going to see bands at local shows and, with friends, setting out on expeditions to Toronto malls and going to the movies.

After graduating, Tiffany plans to attend teachers college to become a high school teacher. She doesn’t want to teach elementary because she’d, “rather have someone to relate to than to babysit.”

However, what was most revealing of character was when she said, “I’d rather enjoy my job and want to go to work than to just make lots of money.

Wisdom beyond her years, one could say.
