When did you learn to skate?

-I learned to skate when I was about three years old. 

​

Did you play hockey growing up?

-Yes I have played hockey  since I could walk. I have a brother who is two years older then me so my parents snuck me on his team.

​

What other sports did you play growing up?

-I feel like I tried every sport growing up but the ones I stuck to in high school were hockey, soccer and lacrosse. 

 

If you could do anything non-athletic in your spare time, what is it?

-Sing and Dance!

​

Describe going down an IceCross track for the first time:

-It is a pure adrenaline rush! You don't know what to expect until you are going down the track and still to this day when I get to the end of the track I look back and can't believe what I just did. 

​

What first got you interested in the sport?
-I saw crashed ice on TV while watching with my Canadian friends out at Dartmouth College. They told me that I should try it once I graduated so when it came to the Xcel Energy Center, I tried out and haven't looked back since!   

​

If there is one piece of advice that you could offer new riders, what would it be?
-Take it easy your first time going down a track and don't try to do what the top athletes are doing right off the bat. Get comfortable with the features, speed and technicality of the course. 

​

Who is your favorite sports athlete?

-Mia Hamm and Cammie Granato are two people I looked up to when I was growing up!
