Reason:

General
IDENTITY
After previously competing in able-bodied triathlons, she has questioned her identity as a Para athlete and in 2021 she used a poker analogy to explain her outlook on the sport. "I realised this is how I fit into Para sports. In life, some people have more chips, some people have fewer chips, or chips of different colours, shapes and sizes. My stack may be different, but I have chips, and Para sports gave me my chair. They gave me, my amazing teammates, and my competitors, a chair at the table of peak potential. Para sport embraces many categories. The category I compete in is PTS5. The categories give someone like me the opportunity to be the best athlete they can be. Everyone, no matter what chips they hold, should be allowed the opportunity to reach their peak potential. They should be given a chair at the table." (cbc.ca, 07 Feb 2021)

She worked in a vaccination centre in Nova Scotia, Canada, helping to deliver vaccinations during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021. (paralympic.ca, 04 Jun 2021)
