How did you get started riding and racing?

I started riding when I was 3 yrs old. I always watched my dad and sister ride in our field and track. Once we were old enough we wanted to try racing. Then we wanted to go to every race!

What was your first race number and how did you choose it?

116. I wanted it to be three numbers and told my dad I wanted one I could always use.

What’s your favourite subject in school?

Math is my favourite.

What is your favourite track and why?

My favourite track is Mt. Thom NS cause it has lots of jumps and gets deep ruts.

Who is your favourite rider and why?

Chase Sexton is my favourite. He’s smooth and always stays positive.

What Canadian Pro do you look up to and why?

Mitch Cooke. He’s tough and gives always gives 100%. He owns Callus and they make my Maritime Badass Apparel gear that sponsors me.

Who is your hero?

My dad cause he’s strong, smart, fixes my bike, and teaches me how to ride.

How did your 2024 season go? Did you meet your expectations?

Good. I got 3rd overall in my 50cc class and almost a top 10 in my 65cc class on my 50cc. My goal was to get top 3 in my 50cc class and just try the 65cc class to get ready for it.

What was your best race?

Round #3 at Riverglade. I won my first moto of the year in moto #1 and got 3rd overall.

What are your winter plans?

We are going at SOBMX again and some others tracks.

What classes will you be racing next season?

My last year in the 50cc class and my first on my 65cc.

What are the big races you’re planning to attend?

I really want to qualify for Walton (TransCan) again and Deschambault was fun and I really want to go back to Mini O’s.

What are your goals for next season, and what is it going to take to reach them?

The championship in my last year in the 50cc class and I want to get a top 5 in the 65cc class. It’s going to take hard work. I’m going to try really hard at training.

What are your biggest accomplishments?

Qualifying 5th for Walton and my 3rd place in the 50cc championship. I also got a gold medal in MMA.

What is your favourite thing about going to the races?

To race my bikes! And spending time with my family and friends I race with.

What do you like to do when you aren’t racing? What other sports or activities do you do?

I like to workout, play football, MMA and play Warzone on my PS5.

What’s it like having a sister racing at the same time?

We actually push each other when training but we both want to beat each other when it’s race time!

You were at the Mini O’s this year and that’s a huge event. How did you like it and do you hope to go again?

I definitely want to go again. I wish you had more than 3 laps to practice but the tracks are super fun. And next year I want to make the mains and get top 20.

Does it make you happy when your sister does well or are you just thinking about trying to beat her?

Haha. I mostly try to think about getting the best finish, always ahead of
her, but I still want her to do good.

Good luck next season and who would you like to thank?

I want to thank my family, the Dionne’s, the Embelton’s, Chuck and all my sponsors: Hello Plumber, Gate Drop Developments, Maritime Badass Apparel, EMCO, JM Bird Contracting, Hardway Cycles, Maritime Case, Macleans Sport, 100%, WD-40, Renthal, Engine Ice, Harris Renovations, Michael Briggs CPA, Orange Motorsports KTM, OGIO
