Turned professional in 2015

She grew up on a bison farm in Alberta, Canada, and did not ride a bike when she was a child. She took up cycling after starting her degree at Trinity Western University in Canada, and got her first bike by accident at age 19 when someone who was working for her parents left it at their house. (teamsunweb.com, 01 Nov 2019; myinnerfire.com, 07 Aug 2018; twualumni.org, 13 Jul 2018)

She took up cycling so she could compete in triathlon while studying for her degree. "I raced a lot of triathlons, including the world amateur championships in 2012 and 2014, but it was after graduating university, where I was on scholarship for distance running, that I chose to jump right into cycling as a profession." (teamsunweb.com, 01 Nov 2019; myinnerfire.com, 07 Aug 2018; twualumni.org, 13 Jul 2018)

To compete at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. (Twitter profile, 02 Jan 2020)

Philosophy:

"I love the game [of racing]. It's not just about physical fitness but also about skills, smarts and some theatrics." (teamtibco-svb.com, 01 Sep 2018)

She won a Spartan Complete Champion Award while studying at Trinity Western University in Canada. (aldergrovestar.com, 08 Jul 2019)

UNIVERSITY SWITCH
She originally enrolled at Columbia Bible College in Canada, but chose to transfer to Trinity Western University [TWU] after earning an athletic scholarship for the track and field team, cross-country running team, and the swim team. "I wasn't totally convinced to do the transfer, but the more I got to experience the school and people involved - coaches, teachers, students - I knew I wanted to be a part of the TWU community. I went from the girl who was lapped in the 3km to the girl who won the Canada West title two years in a row." (twualumni.org, 13 Jul 2018)
