My goals for the 2007 Canada Winter Games

My goal is to compete at the level I know I am capable of. If I know that I have done this at the Canada Games I know my goals will be met.

My personal role model

My personal role model is Myriam Bedard. As a former cadet, like Myriam Bedard, she has inspired me to achieve goals like she has.

Other information that could be of interest to the media

I started out doing biathlon with cadets. The first year I competed I only placed 19th at the provincial level. By my second year of competition I placed 2nd and was part of the composite team going to the Cadet Nationals in Charlo. I went to Cadet Nationals the following two years and by the third year I placed in the top ten.Once I particpated at the national level of biathlon with cadets, I became very interested in the sport and have continued training to get beyond the cadet competitions. Now I have the opportunity to participate in the Canada Games which I didn't think was even possible when I began the sport in 2002.
