Q. How long have you curled and how did you get started?
A. I started curling when I was six years old, I had skating practice and we ran on the train for warm-up. When I was up on the track I saw people curling in the rink, and it REALLY intrigued me. So I asked my mom if I could play, and she signed me up. I did skating and curling for a year, and I chose to do only curling the next year.
Q. What are your curling achievements?
A. Overcoming back surgery and still being able to play and train for curling. Also being a very strong sweeper.
Q. What is your most memorable curling moment?
A. In 2019 my first bonspiel after my surgery and my first shot Dayna wanted me to do a hit. Well, I ended up doing a triple take out and mine still sticking in the rings.
Q. If you could give one piece of advice to a young curler, what would it be?
A. That curling is a team sport, not an individual one. That you need to work together and take constructive criticism. And just have fun!
