While she was undergoing chemotherapy at the Stollery Children's Hospital in Edmonton, AB, Canada, she met Canadian sitting volleyball player Jolan Wong. "She [Wong] was volunteering one night at the Stollery when she met my mother and eventually me. She encouraged me to try out for the national volleyball team when I was ready. I played competitive standing volleyball before I lost my leg, so when I heard of sitting volleyball I knew it was my chance to play at a high level again."
