Math teacher at World Class Kayak Academy

Started Freestyle aged 17

My dad taught me how to roll when I was 13.  When I was 17, the US held their team trials in my hometown and I met some of the junior girls who were competing.  They taught me how to spin and how to loop and I ended up competing in my first team trials and absolutely loved it!

Rock climbing, ski mountaineering

Surfing some of the world's biggest river waves in northern Quebec last spring at "Stakeout". 1st place Montreal Eau Vive 2017

Detonator Wave in Alma, Quebec.  It is massive, fast, and unpredictable, but when you are surfing it, you feel like the god of all gods.  

Cheese

To go as big as the guys on the big waves!

Favourite movie - Zoolander

I am weirdly good at boatercross races...  competed in 7 different boatercross races in the past two years.  Won 6 of them and placed 2nd in the one race that I didn't win.  Most of those races (besides Montreal Eau Vive 2016 and 2017) were in the United States.
