1. What is your most memorable moment in sport?
The first time I made provincials when I was in the Burling Swimming Club for Rodney Thomas and when I made the CIS championships in the 200 metre butterfly my first year at LU.  Although I remember nothing about the race itself.

2. What is your most embarrassing moment in sport?
Not to sure it is embarrassing but for sure disappointing, missing my CIS cut in my second and third year at LU.


3. What is the best part about playing sports at Laurentian University?

The family atmosphere at LU is my favourite thing. We do not have a lot of sports here so most of the athletes know each other pretty well.

4. What are your pre-game rituals?

I like to not think about the race at all and just have fun with my teammates.

5. What is your favorite pre-game meal?
         

A Big Steak
.

6. Do you play any other sports?

Not any more but I used to figure skate.

7. You love swimming because…
I love to race and I love to be with my team.  Swimming, especially this year wouldn’t be possible for me without them

8. What is the motto you live by?
Eat, Sleep, Swim

9. Advice you would give a young swimmer?

Always give it everything you got and when you are in high school and are missing out on parties because you have to swim at 5:30 am the next day and feel like you want to quit.  Keep swimming even harder because university swimming is the best type of swimming there is.

10. If you could change one thing about swimming, it would be?

The 5 am on deck practices, I don’t mind getting up early but having to wake up at 4:30 to be ready to swim at 5 is just crazy sometimes.

11. What is your best non-athletic talent?

Telling stupid pointless nonsense stories

12. What is your favorite thing about Sudbury?

I love how the Sudbury community gives so much support to the school and Athletics.  It truly helps out so much and we are all so grateful.

13. If there were one word to describe you, it would be?
Caring

14. If you could witness one moment in history, it would be?

JFK’s Assassination

15. Who has influenced your swimming career the most?

My parents, although neither of them ever swam they taught me to be determined, never give up and to go for my goals.  They have always been my biggest form of social support as well as financial.
