After starting to ski at Mount Washington Alpine Resort, once a halfpipe was constructed at the resort, she won the first competition held there.

Known to practice/train a lot. "So much to the point that I'm like 'I don't want to anymore, I want to have fun.' But it is fun for me. My job is my favourite thing to do." (cbc.ca, 7 Feb 2019)

Proud of her winning run at the 2017 World Cup Finals in France. "At the top I knew that I had won and I thought about just doing a straight air lap but that's not me. So I buckled down and became the first woman to land a switch cork 7 in competition and upped my own score! I’m very proud of that moment." (cbc.ca, 7 Feb 2019)

Her mother, and without her support she doesn't know where she would be. "Travelling and competing and pursuing this kind of career is super difficult to maintain friendships back at home especially at the time when I was in high school.
