She was first selected to represent Canada at the 1965 World Archery Championships, later becoming world champion by winning the 1969 World Archery ChampionshipsinValley Forge, Pennsylvania, while also winning gold at the national championships in 1969, 1970 and 1971.[1][2] She was unable to compete in the 1972 Olympics, the first to feature archery since 1920, due to a conflict with her job in a bakery.[3][4][5]
