Racing

I earned my UCI Pro mountain bike license in 2019, and went on to race the U.S. ProXCT circuit, compete at USA Nationals, be nominated to Team USA for World Championships, and race across the country and the world. A handful of pro results are below:

2021 California State Road Champion
San Rafael Sunset Criterium (San Rafael, CA) - 1st
Red Bull Bay Climb Open (San Francisco, CA) - 1st
Fish Rock (Boonville, CA) - 1st
Oakland Grand Prix (Oakland, CA) - 1st
Lost & Found (Portola, CA) - 2nd
Sea Otter Classic STXC & XC (Monterey, CA) - 2nd & 3rd, respectively

Firecracker 50 (Breckenridge, CO) - 3rd
UCI XCM Telluride 100 (Telluride, CO) - 3rd
BWR Cedar City (Cedar City, UT) - 4th

UCI XCO Soldier Hollow (Midway, UT) - 5th

I was the youngest rider selected for the inaugural Lifetime Grand Prix, and raced the Absa Cape Epic in South Africa, finishing 9th. I've raced in the pro road tour series in the U.S., including Redlands Bicycle Classic and Tour of the Gila.

In 2023 I started a NorCal-based domestic elite women's road team called Monarch Racing. I had become frustrated with the lack of support and opportunity for ambitious women road racers, and decided that I could change things myself. The team has a roster of athletes that compete nationally and internationally at the professional level. In 2025, I launched the junior team, Monarch Racing Development, which currently supports over a dozen junior girls in their growth in road cycling and competes nationally and internationally at the highest junior levels.
