I am proud to be a Canadian snowboard cross athlete from Prince George, B.C., and to have earned two bronze medals at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics—one in the women’s individual event and another in the inaugural mixed team competition with Eliot Grondin. My World Cup journey began in 2017 with my first podium finish, a bronze in Feldberg, Germany, which showed me I could compete among the best in the world.
Most of my favourite memories come from competitions in Canada, winning the 2015 Canada Winter Games in my hometown will forever be a highlight. In 2025, I achieved a career-best result at the FIS Snowboard Cross World Championships, finishing 4th—just outside of the medals. I also put down back-to-back sixth-place finishes at World Cup races in Gudauri, Georgia. These results remind me that I am right there with the top riders and that with the right preparation, I can consistently fight for podiums.
My sights are on a strong performance at the 2026 Olympics and a top 8 World Cup Overall position. This past season, I rode hard — but not with the equipment I needed. Despite pushing my limits, I struggled with the boards I had and felt the gap between what I know I can do and what my gear allowed me to do. I’ve since tested the boards I need — and the difference is massive. With the right setup, my skill can fully shine through.
