About me
I love being outdoors—running, walking, dancing, biking, swimming, and especially rowing. While self-doubt often challenges me, I’ve learned not to let it hold me back from doing hard things. Endurance sports have become a way for me to connect with the mindset I strive for in daily life—one rooted in patience, humility, compassion, and gratitude. They push me beyond my caution and remind me of who I want to be.
Above all, I’m passionate about creating spaces where people feel they can thrive. Being a teammate is one of my favorite roles, and I believe deeply in the power of a team that celebrates, supports, and grows together.
What motivates me
Love for the water, and curiosity about what all that Lady Ocean can teach us. Hope for the future, and a belief that when people do things that light them up, we can best serve others. And a deep desire to keep mining the ore of joy that comes with the opportunity to do something that is challenging, meaningful, and fun.
