Player Style:

In Golf, I tend to hit a fairly long ball which can often put me at an advantage for my approach shots and on longer par 5’s.  I am a creative shot maker and an excellent scrambler when fighting to save par.

In Volleyball, its defense first, but I am a top server on my team and can drop bombs from pipe and outside when playing offense.


Player Strengths:

In a word, Grit.  I dig deep and wont dwell on the past.  I always bounce back.

My current Handicap index is 5.5 with a low index of 5.5.  My average tournament score in 2024 is 82.  I recently recoded a 310 yard drive, which is my longest drive recorded.

The 2022 tour season was challenging for several reasons, including an off season rebuild of my swing.  Early tournament results weren’t what I wanted, but the changes I made to my swing and my hard work, perseverance, and grit throughout the season allowed me to find success toward the end of the tour season when I had a 1st place finish in the U17 division and was the Overall winner of the McLennan Ross Alberta Junior Tour Championship, shooting a season low score of 77 to win the Overall title. I then went on to win the ASAA Alberta Provincial Championship with my High School Golf Team.  I finished top ten in OOM points in Alberta on the Maple Leaf (MJT) Junior golf tour for 2022.


Leadership:

Captain of my school volleyball teams from grade 7 through 9.  We won the Championship in my final year of Jr. High School and brought home the school’s first ever volleyball Championship.

Individual Accomplishments:

To date, in 2024, I was excited to regain my Champion title on the McLennan Ross Alberta Junior Tour, and won the season long points standings award on that tour as well.  I also had two 3rd place finishes, one top 5 finish, and 4 top 10 finishes on the various different Jr. Canadian golf tours this summer.  I finished 2nd at my Club Championships and was 5th in Alberta and 15th in Canada for OOM points on the MJT Junior golf tour.

In 2023 I was again named as one of only 35 girls in Alberta to receive “tier 2” hi-performance support from Alberta Golf. I achieved several strong tournament finishes and results on the jr. tours throught 2023. see “My Posts” and see below for all results and scores for my 2023 tour season, and 2024 tour schedule.

In 2022, I was the Overall Champion and 1st place winner of the U17 age group at the McLennan Ross Alberta Junior Tour Championship. I qualified for and finished 2nd in my age group at the Golf Canada National Skills Championships in Ottawa, and finished top 10 in OOM points on the MJT Alberta Jr. Golf tour.

In 2021, I qualified to compete in the McLennan Ross Alberta Junior Tour Championships, finishing 3rd. I was also invited to play my first PGA of Alberta Junior Masters tournament, and finished 4th at the Alberta Golf U15 Championships that year too.

In 2019 I qualified to play in the MJT Mini Tour National Championships in Vancouver, and won the Alberta Golf Novice Championship that same year.
