Jessica emerged on the scene in 2008, qualifying the spot for Canada at the 2008 Olympic Games, and making the National Team for the first time ever. Training full-time in Calgary with coach, Mike Holroyd, Jessica has her sights set on London and Rio. 

When she is not training, she is working towards a degree in Kinesiology at Mount Royal University in Calgary, or busy in the kitchen baking and cooking! Jessica also lends a helping hand to the Waterwerks Canoe/Kayak club in Calgary, coaching young, emerging athletes how to kayak.
