My goals for the 2007 Canada Winter Games

To go to teh games and compete closely with the skaters from other provinces, to recieve personal best time and not to take this experience for granted and learn as much as I can from temmates,coaches, and other athletes.

My personal role model

I do not have one specific persona; roler model. I look up to anyone who has teh characteristics of a great athlete and to somone that I can learn from.

Other information that could be of interest to the media

I had a great oppurtunity to make it as far as the top 40 camp for the CWG female hockey team as a defenseman this year, as well as having the chance to try out for the CWG ST Team.
