Who is Martlet Girl?

Who is Martlet Girl? This is a question maybe a few of you have asked yourselves in reading this blog. Well, if you're a female student enrolled at McGill who is somewhat interested in being active, you are Martlet Girl. If you are a female varsity athlete, you are Martlet Girl. If you are a girl who goes to the gym once a month for the odd spin class, you are Martlet Girl. If you don't even know where the Sports Complex is but you want to find out, you are Martlet Girl! No matter your major, no matter your sport, you are Martlet Girl. That is the beauty of her. She's all of us. So, every few weeks, I'll post a profile of a real Martlet Girl to let you know a bit more about who I am!

Yes, I've been injured a few times. Once was while I was riding. I don't remember how it happened, all I remember is that I was going over a jump. Then the next thing I remember I was outside of the barns with a wicked headache. So I had to go to the hospital and get a CAT scan. I had a minor concussion.
If you could try any sport or activity that you've never done before, what would it be?
Tumbling. How cool would it be to be able to flip through the air??
