I'm a SoCal girl living in Colorado with a background in geology, guiding in the outdoors, and being a top-tier soigneur for Thee Abundance Project. Being able to mesh my knowledge of the earth with my passion for being active outside is my mission. I share my experience and knowledge in outdoor recreation to make it less intimidating and more accessible to underrepresented and underprivileged folks.

For the majority of my life I lived in Arkansas. We don’t have real mountains there and I didn’t know mountain biking was a thing until I moved to Colorado. I started mountain biking because I enjoyed the satisfaction of knowing you’re flowing a trail right. I love the feeling when you conquer the drops you always dreamed of. Putting those skills you learned over the years to work and to do those things with friends you have met along the way is the best feeling ever.

Bikepacker, outdoorsman, and community bridge builder are the roles I roll into every week. For the last several years Colorado has been my home, workplace, and playspace as I've facilitated outdoor trips, community gatherings, and self-supported adventures.

As a coach, student, and volunteer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, I am ambitious when it comes to bridging the gap for inclusion in the cycling community. In my current role at a local non-profit, I specialize in creating a passion for the outdoors, focusing on underserved communities. I enjoy sharing the knowledge I’ve gained through the years. I continue doing the work I’m doing because of the connection it gives me to the community. Constantly learning and growing with the community is a gift.
