I have been playing golf since I was four years old, my Dad used to take me with him, and it has been a love of mine ever since. I have been a part of the Gull Lake Junior Golf program in the small town of Rimbey for the past 9 years where I used to be just like the small juniors that I now help mentor. I love helping golf be a fun experience for the kids and I have a great time with all of them. I think that I have become a much more patient person through the work with the younger juniors which makes me a better player myself. It has taught me that it takes a lot of hard work to improve and that I have to commit and practice before I can consider seeing results.

I have played on the same tour for the past three years, and have met some amazing girls that I am glad to call my friends. I enjoy playing with new people and learning from them. Although I have not had the opportunity to play in a team setting because I was the only girl from my high school to play golf the last two years, I work well with others and have yet to have a negative experience with the girls that I play with in a tournament. I have been a member of both a volleyball and basketball team where I enjoyed myself very much.

I have to work very hard to get the marks that I do in school. Some subjects do not come easy to me and it requires a lot of studying. I hope that when I attend college I will be given many opportunities to broaden my horizons and get the best education that I can while also playing golf all year if possible.
