One On One With...
What are your goals for 2010?
To qualify for the Olympic team
How did you get into your sport (i.e. other Olympians in family?)
My parents introduced me to skiing at a very early age.. My father coached me growing up.
Describe a bit about your hometown, about how you got started there in your sport.
I grew up skiing at Craigleith Ski Club, where I always had all the support in the world from everyone.. From there I moved on to the Ontario Ski Team, and then the National [Alpine] Team.
How were you supported by your community growing up there?
I grew up in a big city so there wasn’t much of a “small community” feeling of support.. My parents were my support system.. They did absolutley everything they could to see me reach my dreams.
How would you describe yourself?
I’m a hard worker.. Laid back, good athlete.. A little stubborn at times. I love to ski and compete.
What is one of the biggest challenges you’ve faced in reaching your goals in this sport?
Injuries.. I have had 3 separate knees surgeries.
What do you consider of one of your biggest accomplishments to date?
I was a member of the alpine team before moving into ski cross, there I competed at the Europa Cup and World Cup level. Since moving into ski cross last year, I raced the 5 final World Cups of the
season..my best result was a 15th, and I was 3rd at the National Champs.
What other interests do you have outside your sport?
I love all sports!!.. Play a lot of tennis, and golf in the summer.
