How did you get into MTB? I come from a family who loves to ride and so I got into riding from a young age. When I went to high school we had to choose a Summer sport and my Dad convinced me to choose mountain biking. As I began to race with my school MTB team, I quickly developed a love for the sport and have been riding ever since!

Favourite track/place to ride: Bay of Fires descent!

Pre-race rituals/lucky charms: Sweet potato waffles for breakfast is my ‘big pre-race ritual, (inspired by Kate Courtney’s recipe). Would highly recommend it!

Future goals: ​

• To be in good form for the 2024 National XCO Championships

• Race in Europe 

• Travel and continue my riding journey
