About Me
I raced bikes professionally through my early and mid-20s, after retiring from competitive soccer and running. I was selected for the inaugural year of the Lifetime Grand Prix series, was nominated to Team USA for World Championships, and raced at the pro level on mountain bikes, gravel bikes, and road bikes. I've raced on three continents, and 15 U.S. states and counting. I was the manager for a local high school MTB team for two seasons and started a semi-pro women's team and junior girl's road team, Monarch Racing. I graduated from Northeastern University in Boston, and currently work as a financial analyst in the technology industry.
I'm motivated to speak out about gender disparity in sports, cycling and otherwise, and connect individually with female (and male) student athletes to encourage and support them through adverse situations, as well as educate on difficult topics such as inequality and sexism. I've spoken at fundraising events, been invited onto podcasts, written articles for national cycling publications such as Velo, as well as been elected to the Board of Directors for my local association of USA Cycling. I create and lead programming for U19 riders, designed to broaden their cycling worlds as well as create confident, empowered individuals with skills that will benefit them through cycling and beyond. My programs have been recognized by USA Cycling for their impact and innovation in shaping the future of cycling. You can find out more under the "Advocacy/Contact Me" site page.

While racing professionally, Nathaniel English was my endurance coach, Ian Massey was my technical skills coach, and Marty Susskind was (and still is) my strength and conditioning coach.
