My start

I'm an aspiring Cat 2 road racer and a competitive gravel racer. My journey into sports started at a young age in the world of competitive ballet, where I learned discipline and dedication that has carried into my other athletic pursuits. In my early twenties, I purchased my first road bike for a charity ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Training for this event ignited my passion for pushing my cycling limits and desire to race, but I had a fear of pack riding. Overcoming this fear became a personal challenge. To fuel my competitive spirit, I turned to triathlon, racing at a competitive amateur level. However, my interest in pure bike racing and the team aspect of the sport persisted. Upon moving to Boulder, CO, I immersed myself in the local cycling community, seeking mentors and coaches to help me conquer my fear of racing, a gift I aim to pay forward.
