everything I could to perform at the Olympics.<br />
• Bronze medallist at the 2003 World Championships in Deer Valley, which she considers her career highlight<br />
to date. “I think that even if my success came really fast, I was prepared for it.”<br />
• Started skiing at the age of 3, and entered her first competition when she was 9 years old. “I entered an open<br />
competition in Mont Ste-Anne when I was 8 years old and I won, so I was invited to join the <strong>Freestyle</strong> club.”<br />

• Studies science in Cegep by correspondence, and would like to pursue a career in pharmaceutical representation.<br />
• Would like to see sport more accessible for young kids. “It can be expensive, and I think Canada loses a lot<br />
of good athletes because they can’t afford to continue at the higher level.”<br />
