In Own Words:
I've always been a sportive girl. I tried lots of sports, competed in most of them. But none ever brought me as much as curling has. I am a shy person and curling helped me get out of my shell and become who I am now. It gave me the opportunity to make friends and meet lots of very interesting people. I learned a lot from them, I still am. I have a chance to practice a great sport and to take it to the next level. But I also have the chance to give back to that sport every once in a while. [cr][lf][cr][lf]Curling has become something very important in my life. It's in fact on top of my priority list. Curling is a passion, a challenge too. It's teaching me how to be a better person, a better athlete. My curling career hasn't been a walk in the park. When I first started curling, I was more interested in the social part of it but I quickly realized I wanted more. But I knew I had a lot of work in front of me. I was struggling a lot for all my junior years. It took at least 5 years for me to be good enough to find a competitive team. But I never gave up. I worked hard, often by myself to get better. This is the message I want to get out there. Never let anyone tell you you can't do something. Believe in yourself and you'll be impressed what you can accomplish. Curling thought me that!
