"Kelsi is someone who continually looks for (and finds) the good
things about life. She has the enthusiasm, motivation and
determination to succeed and we look forward to supporting her as
she achieves her dreams," said Penelope Peebles on behalf of John
Peebles Associates at the 2011 Auckland Awards.
At school Kelsi was known for her positive outlook and her
strong relationships with peers and staff alike. She was
a valuable team player and has been awarded prizes and
leadership positions for both orienteering and curling.
Kelsi's new-found passion for curling combined with her
dedication to practise saw her selected for the New Zealand Youth
Winter Olympic Curling team, travelling to Austria in 2012. Since
that selection, she has also been selected for the New Zealand
Under 21 Women's Curling team.
