What’s an average day for you like? My free time in the winter I am found shredding on the hill, riding in the terrain park. Summertime I am often mountain biking, long boarding, riding the skate park and playing soccer!
What is the most difficult part of your activity/sports for a beginner? The easiest? Overcoming intimidation when learning new tricks. Sometimes you just have to pretend nobody is around and just focus. The easiest part about any of my activities is just having fun!
What is the best and worst thing about being female in your sport? One of my favorite things is when people are impressed by my riding and surprised that I am a girl (I often wear blue.) It shows that girls can do anything, ride the park, speed down the hill and do anything the boys can do, with style
What would you like to see change in your sport to make it better for you and other female athletes? Equal recognition in events, and more events for younger girls. If girls were given the same opportunity in events, more girls would enter and stay competing in sports like Snowboarding.

What are your favorite brands/designers for your sports apparel and for stepping out? SheShreds, Union, Salomon Snowboards, Olive Skateboards, Enjoi, DC shoes, GoPro.
Let’s hear your thoughts on how important looking good is to feeling good. “Being” your personal best? Looking good helps me feel confident, and that helps me focus on what ever task I am doing.
How dangerous do you really think it is compared to what people do in their regular activities? Without enough practice, or confidence, any sport can be dangerous.
I bet in your experience you have seen some crazy crashes. Describe one. My favorite wipeout story, is when me and my Dad were both in a banked slalom race. He wasn’t using the right snowboard, and lost control while he was trying to go around a bank, and he flew right through the fence!
What usually gets people hooked on your activity/sport? Feeling comfortable, having fun, the great people you meet makes you want to keep going.
What is your favorite trick? I love to do Indy grabs and Frontside Boardslides on rails.
Do you own any other toys? Longboard, snowboard, skateboard, mountain bike, trampoline, rollerblades.....and Legos.
What are your expectations for this activity/sport? In a couple years I would like to compete in the Alberta Winter Games, and Junior Olympics. When I'm older I hope I could go to the Olympics, ride professionally, and coach others!
Who have been your biggest supporters in getting you to where you are now? My family and friends who take me out to ride, practice and compete so often.
What do you do in your spare time when you’re not riding/shooting/competing? I love to read, play lego, go camping and climb trees.
How about in the off season to stay in shape? I have so many hobbies there is no off season!
What is your biggest goal to accomplish this/next season? I want to learn 360's plus, and start hitting larger features so I'm ready for junior women's before I'm 12. I may try to enter some Jr. women divisons and get comfortable with that. I also want to try and join a shop team.
What do you do to prep for a competition? I ride the day before, and morning before the competition. Relaxing in a hot tub helps too.
