Being an RBC Athlete means...

Role models play an important role in society and being an RBC Olympian will allow me to be a role model on several different levels through many fun and important events. I’m proud of my accomplishments, and proud of the journey I have made along the way. I hope to inspire others to follow their dreams and to strive for the highest standards along whichever path they choose to follow. I am also very passionate about sport and physical activity.

I look forward to this new journey and the many great experiences ahead as an RBC Olympian.
