Although [my Prince George] team did not win and advance to the Canada Games, I was asked to play with the Kitimat team. It's my honour and great pleasure to join this team.

I like to get the rocks closest to the centre! I like working together with the other curlers to make that happen.
What is your favourite Special Olympics experience to date?
That is hard to say. I love being with my team. We are good friends and help each other, together we have had many great moments.
What would you tell someone about Special Olympics to encourage them to get involved?
It's fun! You get to meet new friends and new teammates. You can just be yourself. If you win or you lose, it doesn't matter as long as you are together.

I also take part in swimming, 10-pin bowling, powerlifting, basketball, floor hockey, soccer, and golf.
