My Life

I come from a sporting family - my mother, Sue, played on the Women's National Field Hockey Team, my father, Morley, played badminton for the UBC Thunderbirds, my brother, David, plays for the Men's National Field Hockey Team, and my sister, Katie, plays field hockey for the UBC Thunderbirds. I grew up playing every sport I could; including gymnastics, softball, ringette, volleyball, basketball, badminton, and soccer. I also enjoy reading, listening to music, quoting movies and drinking lattes.

Three Interesting Facts

1. I won the 2009 Vancouver City Chase with my City Chase teammate Derek. This qualified us to compete in the North American City Chase Championships, where we finished 5th.

2. I used to be terrified of flying. I attribute my ability to calmly get on an airplane to the number of flights I have had to take while playing for Team Canada.

3. My favourite snack is Vector and yogurt.

Advice for aspiring athletes...

When in doubt lace up your shoes and get out the door - the runs you least want to do are the most important.
