Marissa Papaconstantinou
Student in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Hey! My name is Marissa Papaconstantinou, I'm 18 years old and currently studying full time at Ryerson University in the RTA school of media, as well as being a full time athlete. Born without my right foot, I never let having a disability get in the way of achieving my goals. I am a first time Paralympian in the sport of track and field after competing in Rio at just 16 years old. Other than school and sport, my passions are inspiring others and sending across positive messages to youth that it isn't about what you can't do, its about what you can do. If I can do it with a can do attitude, than you CAN do it to.
