Why True Sport: I started weightlifting in my hometown of Campbellton, N.B. After competing at only two events, I competed at the 2017 Canadian Championship and came first. Sadly, it wasn’t the celebration I expected because my mother suddenly passed away the day after I won. I used my passion for weightlifting to help me overcome my grief and continued to push myself in sport and life. With my mother’s memory as my drive and inspiration, I spent five years pushing myself until I found the love for my sport again. My hard work paid off and I got to represent Canada at multiple international events since then. The True Sport Principles inspired me on my journey to find my “why.” I hope I can help and inspire others through my role as a True Sport Champion.
