Personal History
I am 11 years old and live with my mom, dad and dog Libby, in Haliburton, Ontario. I am in grade 6 at JD Hodgson Elementary School in Haliburton, and in addition to being elected Class Representative, I volunteer in school clubs such as the Eco Team, as well as coordinating and participating in fundraising initiatives for the school and community. To experience the arts, I am practicing for my Grade 1 Royal Conservatory of Music exam on the piano. When not riding my dirt bike, I enjoy spending time at the family cottage playing tennis, swimming, water skiing, fishing and exploring nature. In the winter, I spend many days downhill skiing and riding a snowmobile. Most of all, I enjoy spending time at the motocross track either practicing or racing, and wrenching on my dirt bike.
Riding Goals
For the 2016 race season, my goal is to finish 10 top at the Parts Canada TransCan, Canadian Motocross Grand National Championship (GNC) in the 85cc 7-11 age class. My ultimate riding goal is to become a Canadian Motocross Professional.
Competitive Highlights

Due to motocross related injuries, 2012 racing was primarily with MMRS finishing in the top 5 at several events in the 50cc (7-8) class. Top finishes included a 1st place overall at Thunder Mud and Cochranes, and a 2nd overall at Madoc.
