First and current club that I was/am a part of is Biathlon Yukon. Was on the Biathlon Alberta Training Center (B.A.T.C) for a few years. Have been on the Senior National team since May 2018.
Hobbies
I love to create art(even though I don't do it very often) Drawing, painting, sometimes I try out different art forms like wood burning or embroidery. Reading. Recently in the last couple years I've added river surfing to one of my favorite things to do.

Love to have my things for drawing...and don't really need these, but I have an insane amount of scissors that I bring with me. I think I have 5 or 6 different pairs.
Typical pre-race meal?
Plain pasta or rice with 2 boiled eggs and sometimes a bit of cheese and/or butter
What does making the Olympic team mean to you?
It feels like a bit of a badge that I can wear that proves to people not super involved in sport, and to myself, that I had some level of success in my sporting career. It is also an opportunity to advertise lesser known sports to a larger audience and hopefully build a bigger community in whatever sport world one is a part of.
