I have been competitive swimming for 10 years, starting in 2015 as a Little Devil, continuing on for 9 seasons with the club. I have also swam with the Comox Valley Sharks for 7 seasons, from September 2015 - January 2023. I have attended Regional, Provincial and Divisional Swim Meets.

I have been a member of the Vancouver Island Adaptive Snowsports (VISAS) since 2012. For the past 5 seasons I have been a part of their Racing Team. As I transition to an older athlete I have taken on a mentorship and coaching role within the VISAS. I truly have a passion for skiing. During high school I was also on the GP Vanier Alpine Race Team.


Music

I play the piano and have taken 10 years of piano lessons finishing at the Grade 7 Royal Conservatory Level. In highschool I was a member of the Senior Band and Jazz Band playing the trombone.
