My goals for the 2007 Canada Winter Games
To achieve my personal best and make my home town proud! oh and have FUN!
My personal role model
My Grandmother! She was the first person to ever take me to a big mountain and the first person to watch me snowboard! My family has been very supportive over my snowboarding career, but my grandmother is the pioneer of my love for snowboarding!
Other information that could be of interest to the media
I love my sport, but most of all I love being a role model for the youth of the Yukon. We live in a place with ample opportunities, and I have been fortunite enough to take advantage of every single opportunity possible. I like to have fun and I always keep a positive atitude I could only hope that others could see that and want to do the same! oh and I rock at snowboarding!
