Fun Facts
What is your favourite bowls memory?
Winning the 2023 B6 Gold medal at my home club and being named to the national team.
Who is your favourite athlete?
Roger Federer for his ability and dedication to practice and retooling his game to stay at the top for so many years. Kevin Koe for his skills and hairstyle!
If you could play any other sport professionally, what would it be?
Tennis, I love the gracefulness of the game, the complexity and challenge of the serve, and the volley game.
What are three words used to describe you?
Supportive, dedication and fun.
Who is your favourite music artist?
I’m a classic rock lover, so the 60’s and 70’s is the music I listen to most. One of my favorite bands though is the Tragically Hip for the uniqueness and Canadiana of the lyrics and the stage presence of the late Gord Downie. Great memories.
What is your favourite movie?
I loved John Wayne movies and westerns growing up. Although cheesy, we all wanted to be cowboys as kids. Shawshank Redemption is a good movie I have seen several times.
What are 3 things you can’t live without?S
Family and support they and inspiration they give me would be #1. I am grateful for the friends I have and I enjoy new experiences, especially travel.
