Why have you joined AMP? I have gotten a lot through hockey and I believe I have something to give back. I am proud to be part of this sport and truly believe that women's hockey can really take the next step if we all are willing to work together. I want to do all I can to help with this development. I believe living and playing in different countries have provided me with valuable experience I can use within this program.
