:

Parents met when they were part of the same cross-country ski team in Ottawa. Grew up very close to a Gatineau park so cross-country skiing was a family activity. Learned to ski at age two, but at first, she spent the majority of her time lying in the snow until she got the hang of it. She joined the Nakkertok Jackrabbit program and moved up to racing rabbits when she was a little older. (nordiqcanada.ca; Athlete, Jun 2021)

TRAINING BASE IN CANMORE

WORKING ON HER TECHNIQUE
She has always been thought of as a motor. She could fly along the course despite what some would consider less than ideal technique. "I’ve always been the girl with the engine and not really the best technique. I’ve worked with coaches in the past but it’s been really hard for me to make any improvement because I’m missing those basic movement patterns and it’s years and years of bad habits that have built up. So if someone tells me to do something technique-wise, I can’t even do it because I don’t even know how to do it when I’m not on my skis. It’s been really difficult for me to change anything about my skiing." (fasterskier.com, 18 Feb 2021)
