Speed skater from Surrey, British Columbia. In my spare time I enjoy classical music, playing the piano, and League of Legends. I am currently studying Mechanical Engineering at the University of Calgary. I’ve been speed skating for nine years, five of those with the Calgary Olympic Oval, and I’m excited to see what the upcoming season brings with this team.

This is my first year in the Oval program, and I’m excited to skate alongside some of the top athletes. My goals for the season are to finish in the top 18 at HR Champs and compete at a Senior Canada Cup. I’m also very thankful that time-trialing 1500s is no longer necessary.
