Growing up in Thunder Bay this dual-sport 4-time Paralympian was active from a young age competing in and teaching downhill skiing, and participating in a number of sports. Diagnosed as a teenager with Stargardt disease, a form of macular degeneration, which eventually would leave her with only six percent vision, she did not let that stand in her way of continuing to be an intense competitor. 

Taking up goalball and powerlifting while attending Mohawk College in Hamilton, she set national and world records in the squat, bench press and deadlift. Getting involved with para nordic skiing, she and guide Brian Berry brought home medals from International Paralympic Committee (IPC) World Cup Para Nordic events and Cross Country Ski Nationals. Earning a spot on Team Canada for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Paralympics, she advanced to the final round in five of her seven events. 

Her second trip to the Winter Paralympics was with guide Phil Wood at the 2014 Games in Sochi, which she made less than a year after suffering multiple fractures when she and her para-cycling pilot Emilie Roy were hit by a car during a training session.

Her cycling career began in 2010 with pilot Lyne Bessette with the pair claiming tandem road race gold at the 2010 Para-cycling Road World Championships and the 2011 World Time Trial title. At the 2011 Parapan American Games their 4 gold medals saw them carry the flag for Canada in the closing ceremonies. At the 2012 London Paralympic Games, they made it to the top of the podium in the Women's Road Race B event, and just missed out on a second medal with a 4th place finish in the time trial.

Undeterred from her 2013 cycling accident she got back on her bike and paired up with pilot Audrey Lemieux to claim a 2015 Parapan American Games silver medal, earn multiple top 5 UCI Para-cycling World Cup finishes and compete in the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Retiring in 2020, she earned entry into the Canadian Cycling Hall of Fame in 2021, becoming only the second para-cyclist ever to enter the national shrine. 

As she was descending a hill on her bike at speeds close to 100 km/h and flying down a ski trail at 70 km/h, her two children were always cheering her on.  She had the chance to do the same when her daughter Keegan, who is also visually impaired, competed in running events at the 2024 Summer Paralympic Games, carrying on her tradition of excellence.
