I love what I do. After riding competitively for 10 years, my hard work, determination and dedication are paying off. I had a great 2007 season. I raced consistently in the upper 1/4 at World Cups last year and in 2008 I’m going to use that experience to race at the front of the pack with the fastest women in the world. My strengths are pure speed on the flats and the perfect blend of control and risk on technical descents.
In 2008 I am seeking a team and supporters that will help me in my goals to qualify for Canada ’s Olympic Pool, race with the best on the World Cup circuit and represent Canada at the World Championships.
By 1996 I was a self-confessed mountain biking addict. To read more about my racing background, click here.
