I began my baton twirling journey in Nova Scotia in 2008. I won several Pageant titles including novice 7-9 Miss twirling mania in 2010, along with being the alternate for strut at the 2012 world championships in Switzerland. I moved to Ontario the summer of 2012 and found a new club in Burlington Ontario and continued my twirling journey with my new club.

In my club I was able to compete at 3 international cups. First one being in British Columbia, Canada where I competed in jr.B artistic pair and ended in 8th place. Second one was Croatia where I competed in artistic group, B artistic team and winning a bronze medal, jr.b 2-baton winning the bronze medal and jr.b artistic twirl and taking home the gold medal for Canada. My third international cup was in France where I competed in sr.A solo, sr-A 2-baton, sr.A 3-baton , A team, group, and sr.an artistic pair, I ended placing 8th in 3-baton and 5th in team. The next time I competed at a world level in was at the β€œnew” nations cup. I went to Liverpool, England in 2023 I competed in world artistic group, A team where we placed 5th overall,A adult artistic twirl, A. Adult solo, and sr.A artistic pair and placed 8th overall I also was able to go to the 2025 nations cup in Italy where I competed in A adult solo and placing 6th overall, A adult 2-baton placing 10th overall, A adult 3-baton placing 7th overall, A adult artistic twirl and A team where we placed 3rd overall.

I was nominated for the 2025 Ontario sportsmanship award, along with getting the 5 years of representing Canada award. I have been a certified coach for 7 years along with a badge adjudicator.

I help the kids learn many new tricks and love to challenge them. I love watching the kids grow and love the sport more every year. I love helping build the confidence in the athletes and help them learn their own style for twirling to show their own personality while in front of a judge.
