Her story: "Speaker . . . facilitator . . . athlete . . . artist . . . I was born a four-way amputee and both my legs end above the knee. My 40+ years have seen more experiences than most people manage in a lifetime. Despite being an amputee, I have climbed mountains in Nepal without my prosthetic legs, won a bronze medal in alpine skiing and a gold in a Martin 16 at the Lake Ontario Racing Council Regatta. I have multiple college degrees. I hope to challenge misperceptions about disability and inspire achievements in all people."
