2019
Her parents put her on skis when she was four years old. At eight, she started competing in moguls, aerials and slopestyle at the Freestyle Ski Club. She stopped moguls and aerials at 12 to only do slopestyle. (Athlete, Jun 2021)
"I chose slopestyle because the vibe of this discipline represented me better than moguls and aerials. I liked the variety of the sport and how everyone can have their own style." (Athlete, Jun 2021)
To compete at the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games, be invited to the X Games slopestyle/big air, try more urban skiing in the next years and maybe do a street segment. For Beijing 2022: “It's a goal for me, but I don't put too much pressure on myself with it. I know I still have plenty of time. I am only 16 years old. It's not like these are the only Games I will be able to do in my life." (lapresse.ca, 23 Jan 2021; Athlete, Jun 2021)

Freestyle skier Megan Oldham (CAN), 2021 World Championships slopestyle bronze medallist, 2019 Crystal Globe winner. Has been competing against her for a couple of years and always thought she was very talented. "Since I joined the national team with her and got to know her, I've looked up to her even more, because she has this awesome work ethic and this positive attitude that I really admire." (Athlete, Jun 2021)
Her dad, as he was the one person that was able to support her at the beginning of her career. "He helped me find sponsors and scholarships to make it possible to pay for my ski seasons, and for my two siblings who also practice sports. I wouldn't be where I am today if he didn't help me so much." (Athlete, Jun 2021)
"If I listen to music during a competition run, it has to be my favourite song of the moment or I'll feel uncomfortable." (Athlete, Jun 2021)
Do it for yourself, not others. (Athlete, Jun 2021)
