General
MOVE TO TEXAS
She is pursuing a bachelor's degree in business at the University of Texas at Arlington in the United States of America. "I wanted to get outside of my comfort zone. I wanted to go somewhere where I didn't really know anybody. I always wanted to go live somewhere other than Canada, just to experience other cultures and I wanted to give myself a challenge by living somewhere else. When I first visited the campus, I just had this feeling. It was great. With school, it's a great opportunity to study in English, which I've never done before. It's a really great experience and a challenge for me so I wanted to do it. I believe that the University of Texas at Arlington will bring me challenges and make me grow as athlete and as a person."
