I started with Special Olympics in 2003.

How is your life different since joining Special Olympics?

I've been in Special Olympics for such a long time I don't remember how it changed my life. But I know my life would change if I didn't have it because I see my friends there and make new ones, I have fun, and I can keep getting better at my sport and feel good about myself.

What do you like most about the sport you will be competing in at Special Olympics World Summer Games Berlin 2023?

What I like most about Rhythmic Gymnastics is it has a nice flow with the music and it's a little bit like dancing.

What is your proudest moment with Special Olympics?

My proudest moment was going to Kamloops to be in the Provincial Games.

What does Special Olympics and attending World Games mean to you?

It means being proud of being a part of Team Canada and to represent Canada. I am also excited to be with the other athletes from other countries and being all together.

My goal for the Summer Games is to have a positive mindset so I can do my best!
