UPDATE: Formula Kite Worlds, Here I Come!

I'm excited to announce that I am one of the kiters who will be representing Canada at the 2022 Formula Kite World Championships in Cagliari, Italy this October!

In the summer of 2020, before I could even get up on a foil, I made a pact to myself: In two years time I would compete at the 2022 World Championships. Since then, I have worked hard both on and off the water to realize this goal. I trained hard in Kingston, Ontario throughout 2021, and in 2022 set off on my first training block in La Ventana, Mexico. This summer, I've worked full time while training in Kingston, and in August went to The Hague for the test event for the 2023 World Championships (My first international event). I'm more motivated than ever to continue training hard to perform at this event, and to ultimately pursue my goal of competing at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
