What I do when I'm not skiing?
I'm currently at medical school at Western University in London, Ontario, so when I'm not training I'm usually in class or studying ...or napping! Netflix is another much-loved past-time, as is sharing a meal with family or friends.
Skiing highlights/accomplishments?
Selected to the 2017 Canadian team for World University Games
Competed for Carleton University Ravens for gold at OUAs (North Bay) and silver at Nationals (T-Bay) in the CCUNC relay.
Favourite Ottawa-Gatineau Trail?
I love skiing the Morall loop at Nakkertok when there's fresh snow.
Any kind of crust skiing (ex. off of Burma trail) is also awesome!
Favourite Race?
Easterns are my favourite set of races because we're on the home trails, there's a fantastic atmosphere, and they give out great lunches :)
Favourite Workout?
That's a tough one...probably a max aerobic speed workout!
Personal Sponsors/Supporters?
Exel Poles
Racing Goals for this Season?
Maintain my fitness while in school and enjoy the racing experience!
Who inspires you?
Training partners are #1 for this, for sure. No one can make you go faster than that person who's just ahead of you!
