She began rowing in 2014 in Calgary, AB, Canada. (rowingcanada.org, 06 Mar 2019)

She began rowing after retiring from her previous sport of ski racing. "I started rowing in the summer of 2014 in Calgary. I moved back home from university and wasn't ready for 'real life' yet. I always had a fire in me to be an athlete and felt like my journey as an athlete wasn't over. After retiring from ski racing six years earlier, I felt like giving elite sport another go. A friend of mine had suggested rowing and I was hooked. It gave me an outlet to push my body and a second chance at an Olympic dream." (gofundme.com, 06 Oct 2020)
