Sport Specific Information
Reason for choosing this sportShe followed her two older brothers into speed skating. She initially did short track and long track, but began to focus on the latter after the opening of the Centre de Glaces [Ice Centre] in Quebec City, QC, Canada. "As a junior I didn't really stand out. I did short track and trained in long track, but then when the new oval [Centre de Glaces] was built it just naturally pushed my progression [in long track]."

Sporting philosophy / motto"I was not the best in my sport [growing up], but I worked hard to get to the level I am at. I believe anything is possible in life, and I want to spread that message as it's something that goes beyond sport." (beaucemedia.ca, 24 Sep 2022)
