I began skiing as a very young child when I got sick of getting too cold riding up the chair lifts alpine skiing. I decided it seemed like a better idea to “ski up” and then ski down as well. When Olympic athlete, Laura McCabe, became my neighbor, I was set on becoming an Olympian one day. Growing up in an athletic family with two siblings close in age, my competitive nature was developed at a very young age. Since I was about 5-years-old I have been competing in all types of sports – mountain biking, swimming, running, and skiing.

I really love Nordic skiing because I love testing my mind and body to see how hard I can push. After putting in so much hard work through the off season, it is such a rewarding feeling to be able to test my capacity and new skills through the racing season. I think the places that I get to go, and the people I meet, are what truly make this journey magical.

Last year I made a big jump in my racing career starting at my first FIS World Cups, and then went on to race at the Nordic World Championships in Olso, Norway. I look forward to getting in some solid training during the summer with my teammate and one of the most talented skiers on the circuit, Kikkan Randall. It will be fun to see how things develop from here.
