“I went to one of the shooting days, tried it out and they said I was better than my brother. I was hooked after that.” (rmotoday.com, 8 Feb 2018)
“I get to be active with some of the most fit athletes in Canada, every day. I try to keep that in mind and appreciate it every day. Everyone on the team has put in hard work since day one. There are things you hone in on, there are things you change. I’ve found a better balance between training, jobs and relationships, and now I manage everything better than in the past.” (rmotoday.com, 8 Feb 2018)
Walking out during the opening ceremony at the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games. “It was absolutely incredible to walk into the stadium in a sea of red and white and surrounded by hundreds of Canadian athletes. There were so many bright lights and flashbulbs flashing everywhere, and I think it finally hit me at that moment that I was going to be racing for Canada at absolutely the highest level.” (lookoutnewspaper.com, 11 Apr 2018)
Biathlete Magdalena Neuner (GER), Vancouver 2010 dual Olympic gold medallist and 12-time world champion. "She was the first female biathlete I started following, and meeting her in Vancouver in 2010 made me want to train harder and get onto the World Cup circuit." (biathlon23.wordpress.com, 7 Sep 2017)
Nearly always eats oatmeal for breakfast on race day. During the season will designate one pair of earring as her race earrings. (olympic.ca, 2021)
