I started in summer sailing camps at Royal Victoria Yacht Club with my twin brother and then joined the junior race team. Coming from a non-sailing family isn't too common but sailing was one of the only sports where my brother and I could directly compete against each other, fuelling a serious sibling rivalry where quitting was not an option. 

​

For youth sailing, I sailed the two person 29er only to be hit by the Covid pandemic. Despite it, I sailed almost every day and learned how to coach myself to make huge improvements. I also used this time to graduate high-school with top grades and multiple entrance scholarships into university for Chemistry.

​

When racing finally started back up we won the first five regattas we sailed including Canadian Nationals. This qualified us for the 2021 Youth Worlds in Oman. I spent a year and a half competing internationally in the 29er while studying Science at the University of Victoria. We went out with a bang by winning 2022 Canada Games and then started sailing the Olympic class 49erFX. I was also learning the foiling Waszp. As 2023 started, full time school proved to be too much so I dropped my classes and got a job as a sailmaker at Leitch and McBride where I worked for a few years.

​

After a few years of 49erFX sailing I realized I'd be unable to find a crew big enough to be competitive internationally so I switched into a different Olympic class the 470. Originally teaming up with my brother was promising until he decided to focus on coaching.

I'm working at Clear Marine Canvas between regattas and racing my Waszp while keeping an eye out for a 470 crew. I've also been spending more time on keelboats including on an IC37 team.
