 Hi, I'm Sailor First Class Shelby Soderstam from HMCS Winnipeg, born and raised in Chillowack, B.C. I've been in the Canadian Armed Forces for six and a half years. I am a boson, I'm a proud Canadian, and I'm ready to represent my country at RUMPAC. Before I joined the Navy, I was a competitive dancer, and I used to dance for Kesha and Justin Bieber, and I also have seven world titles. Dance has shaped me into the person I am today because I am very independent, I like to work hard, and I like to have a lot of fun. As I said earlier, I'm a boson, and our four main roles we do on board is we are in charge of all the upper deck maintenance, small boat driving, small arms, and underway force protection. I'm excited for RUMPAC because this is my first time doing it and I'm excited to work with all the other nations. The theme for RUMPAC this year is Capable Adaptive Partners. This is a chance for Canada to prove that we are capable. This is a chance to prove that we are adaptive of any situation and a chance to work with our partners and allies.
