Personal Bio
Growing up, I played fastpitch as the starting short stop at a provincial level; I absolutely love the team aspects of sport and life. I love to constantly challenge myself mentally, physically and emotionally. I also love a good adventure—travelling, hiking, fishing, snowshoeing and discovering this beautiful place we call earth.
