Short Biography:
I have been a part of Canada’s Paralympic Archery Team since 2015. After the Para World Championships in 2019 I had to step away to deal with a severe illness. When my health got better, I rejoined the team for the 2023 season and proceeded to qualify for and compete at the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games. I have had a tough road since an ATV accident in Aug-2009 put me in a wheelchair, but with resilience and lots of hard work I have been able to adapt myself to this new way of life and find a way to keep moving forward. Although my commitment to Archery and my training takes up a good amount of my days, to keep myself busy and distracted from the daily chronic pain, I have setup and run a side business doing 3D CAD designs, 3D printing, laser engraving, and CNC carving. With the amazing support I have received from the Canadian Archery community, my hometown, friends, and family I have been able to build a business, travel the world, and compete in archery at the highest levels.
