-See a part of Canada- the Yukon- that I might not otherwise ever see.
-Meet new people, have fun, maybe go dog-sledding, if possible.

Norm Loader, who has been my gymnastic coach for almost 10 years. He has motivated me to aim high,be the best I can be, work hard, play fair, and have fun too.

Other information that could be of interest to the media

I began gymnastics when I was 3 years old.
I find that music really helps me to relax. I like to play the guitar and the drums, and jam with my friends.
In the summer, I enjoy canoeing; in the winter I like to snowboard.
