Started cross-country skiing at age three. Decided to take up biathlon at age 11, joining the Race Bears youth development program and began competing in 2010.
"The combination of skiing and shooting, and how it adds so many variables to a race. It makes it exciting to watch and compete in because you never know what is going to happen." (biathloncanada.ca, 2021)
"My favorite workout I did in the last training year to prepare for this was rollerskiing up Highwood Pass, then running Ptarmigan Cirque, almost running into a grizzly on the way down, and having cookies waiting for us at the end with my Biathlon Alberta Training Center teammates." (fasterskier.com, 27 Feb 2018)
Winning individual gold at the 2017 Junior World Championships in Brezno. "It is pretty exciting. This is the first time I've shot 20 for 20. It never crossed my mind but to be the first Canadian to win is very cool." (cbc.ca, 23 Feb 2017)
