Other Interests

I was a member of the National Long Track Speed Skating team for 7 years, competing internationally while working towards my B.Sc. (Hons). I retired from sport in 2016, but didn’t give up my love for playing on the ice. These days you can find me on new type of ice - glaciers! I love to explore wild, glaciated landscapes, learn their personalities, and capture their stories.

Its no surprise then that most weekends you can find me in the mountains surrounding my home in the Bow Valley, travelling on or around glaciers, hunting for fresh tracks, mountain biking, or backpacking!
