I began my competitive cycling career in the fall of 2005, my freshman year in High School, when a friend introduced me to our high school mountain bike club coach. The program sounded fun, so I joined. Since then I have been competing in more and more races every year. In early 2008 I decided that I needed a personal coach to direct my training. Shortly after, I started working with Dario Fredrick of Whole Athlete. Later that year I was selected as the top junior rider for the USA national world championship team competing in Val di Sole, Italy. I have come a long way from where I started and I am still continuing to grow as a cyclist.

I am currently a senior in high school and have maintained an average GPA of 4.2 during the past 3 years. I plan on going to college where cycling is a large part of student life. This way I can continue training and racing at a high level, while maintaining a successful education.
