My goals for the 2007 Canada Winter Games

My goal in these games are to show that I can make the transition from juvenile to IJF junior and be a national-level competitor (and of course, to medal).

My personal role model

I don't have a role model, but I think my parents have had a major impact on me because they have always been there on the side of the mat, cheering me on.

Other information that could be of interest to the media

I am the co-chair of the Youth Advisory Committee for New Westminster, and I do a lot of work with city council and making sure the youth perspective on issues is heard. As well, I am in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. I enjoy the sciences especially, and plan to go into chemical engineering.
