Her father enrolled her in swimming lessons at a pool in Moncton, NB, Canada. At age five she moved to El Paso, TX, United States of America, due to her father's work commitments with the Canadian Armed Forces. She played football and took part in athletics while she was there, but when the family returned to Canada in 2012 she began pursuing swimming again. "It's really just a way for me to forget about all my worries and it helps me. It's like my form of meditation and relaxation." (cbc.ca, 07 Feb 2019; paralympic.ca, 10 Apr 2016)

General
TRAINING DURING COVID
She was unable to train normally during the COVID-19 pandemic after her local facilities were forced to close, and instead used her family's swim spa. "It has a tether on it, and a giant jet, so the water can push against me so I can swim against it. It is very different from swimming in a real pool. In an actual pool, I can do the flip turns, I can do the push off the wall, and the dives, but in the swim spa all you can really work on is resistance work." (919thebend.ca, 29 Mar 2020)
