Fun Facts
If you could play any other sport professionally, what would it be?
Gymnastics. Unfortunately, I don’t have the flexibility or the body for it.
Who is your favourite athlete?
Bobby Orr. His dedication to practice and perfection and his kind demeanor coupled with the fact that he never let his fame go to his head. He’s a real GOAT.
What is your favourite bowls memory?
Being drafted at the age of 13 by the infamous, Jean Roney, to play pairs with her nationally which was the start of my competitive bowls career. Also, at the age of 15, being asked to represent Canada at the North America Challenge. This was the first time I represented Canada internationally. Oh, and being selected to the Comm Games Team. Oh, and also, being selected to the World Bowls Team.
What is one thing that people would be surprised to know about you?
I scored a supporting role in the Corner Gas Movie as Trumpet Player #2.
What is your favourite movie?
Wedding Crashers. I can recite every line from the movie with my favorite being “Schlomo? I thought you were renouncing all your possessions and moving to Nepal?!”
Who is your favourite music artist?
Devin Cooper for obvious reasons.
What are three things you can’t live without?
Bowls. Money. Bowls. (not necessarily in that order)
Any other fun facts you’d like to share about yourself?
I’ve never said “No” to a good slice of pizza. I studied Latin for four years – Carpe Diem or whatever. I can eat anything I want and look like this – it’s a curse. Henry, Jill, Eric, Sean – they call me Aunti or Heidi Klum – I’ve heard it both ways.
What three words would your teammates use to describe you?
She’s shy, quiet and sensitive – and can wear every color. Oops. I guess that’s 3 words, and a sentence fragment.
