I was born in Toronto Canada and moved to North Carolina five years ago. I love living in North Carolina - the sunshine, blue skies, warm weather and Umstead State Park. I attended Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario and graduated with my Bachelor of Nursing Science and BA in psychology.
I began my athletic career with competitive swimming and downhill skiing in high school. During university I ran cross country/track my first year and ended up injured. For the next three years, I rowed with the varsity rowing team.
The first few summers I was in NC, I raced as a relay team member doing the swim and run. In 2007, I finally decided I needed to buy a bike, learn how to ride it and just do the whole triathlon. This is my third year racing with the team.
