She enjoyed inline skating as a child, so she decided to try speed skating and liked it even more. "I always really enjoyed rollerblading at birthday parties. I was really competitive. My mum said, 'Oh, they have an inline track in town', which is 400 metres, so it's the same size as a speed skating rink and I really wanted to give it a go." after competing in inline for a few years i switched to ice and never looked back.
