What is the craziest thing you have ever
done?
I would have to say the craziest thing that I have
ever done would be in my friend’s words: “Traveling
down the slope of the Malahat, while it is pouring
rain on my bike that is fit with its train tires in
the middle of winter at 80km/hour!! Only someone as
crazy as you would think this to be fun. (Oh yes and
the other cyclists out there too, my apologies!!)
What charity/charities have you supported
with your time and/or resources over the past two
years?
Over the past two years I have been active with volunteering
my time to the PacificSport Youth Development Programs
in schools, as well as the After High-School Program
that is offered every year to all grade 11 and 12
students in the Greater Victoria area. The PacificSport
Youth Development Program is run at elementary and
junior high-schools and it creates the building foundation
and values of how sport can become a part of every
youth’s life, a part of a balance between academics
and athletics. The After High School Program is a
program that teaches grade 11 and 12 students the
possibilities that are available after graduation
and as well the realities of living away from home
for the first time. (ie. Expenses, tuition fees, employment,
relationships)
What would be your “dream job”
in life?
My dream job in life is to be a leading entrepreneur.
I dream of creating a company that builds on the foundation
that it is built from those that are a part of it.
I have been working on a business model for sometime
and with the right tools in place hope to make this
dream a reality some day in the future. The long term
dream of creating a company is that one will be a
part of a community and be a sponsor to help others
out with their dreams. “I never did a days work
in my life. It was all fun.” –Thomas A.

Name one personal accomplishment (in addition
to being a Miss Universe Canada contestant) that makes
you especially proud.
There are so many angles one could answer this question,
but the one personal accomplishment that makes me
proud is one that most friends and family would wonder
why…but it is my first Road Race on my bike
where I almost finished dead last, but I finished!!
*you should have seen the hill that the women had
to cycle 14 times and you’d know why I say this*
and I knew after that race that I had a love for the
bike and a challenge ahead of me.
What is the most important thing you want
people to know about you?
I am a person that believes in balance and who never
closes any doors or windows, but one who opens them
for herself and others. Believe: “The difference
between the impossible and the possible lies in a
person’s determination.”
What is your favorite movie, song, sport,
and food?
Movie: Robinhood Prince of Thieves
Song: It’s Still Rock & Roll to Me, Artist:
Billy Joel
Sport: Too many to list…Cycling, Running, Rowing,
Weights
Food: LOVE banana chips
What would you like to accomplish if you
win the Miss Universe Canada title?
Winning the title of Miss Canada Universe would be
an honour that cannot fully be described. I believe
it to be an incredible opportunity to be a role model
and a representative from a country I am proud to
be a citizen of.
A motto that has served you as inspiration.
“Excellence can be attained if you Care more
than others think is wise, Risk more than others think
is safe, Dream more than others think is practical,
and Expect more than others think is possible.”
