2017 for Canada, World Championships in Sarasota, FL, United States of America (olympic.ca, 01 Sep 2019)

She began rowing at age 16 in high school. (olympic.ca, 01 Sep 2019)

Her brother and a high school coach suggested she try rowing after an injury stopped her from competing in distance running. "I was devastated when I was told I could no longer run, and didn't know how I was going to fulfil my competitive need. In the spring of grade 11, the high school rowing coach, Brad Brennan, told me that I should try rowing. My little brother was the first in the family to take to an oar, and after seeing what he got out of it, I wanted to see how I could do. I figured the early mornings must be worth something. To my surprise, I took to it well. The high school environment allowed me to learn and develop a love for the sport really quickly. It became my new outlet for my competitive side, but I had no idea where it would end up taking me. I love that it's a never-ending search for perfection and a beautiful combination of strength, endurance, and technique." (rowingcanada.org, 01 Sep 2019; row2k.com, 15 Mar 2017)
