I think one of my greatest qualities as a professional triathlete is that I am stubborn.

I raced my 2nd race of the year - the Oceanside 70.3 - and came across the line with a solid 4th place finish.

I grew up in Bend, Oregon with dreams of winning Olympic Gold as a ski racer. Although I garnered many accolades as a downhill ski racer, my 100 -pound frame, large lung capacity, and tenacity led to running cross country and track & field through high school and early college. When I decided I no longer enjoyed running in circles, I hung up my track cleats and transferred to the University of Montana to study nutrition and exercise physiology.

Once in Missoula, I found my two loves: Chris Corbin and triathlon. It is in this complex sport that balances mental fortitude with peak physical fitness that I began to really dream.

I won the first two races I entered and set a course record in my first race as a pro. My vision is to transcend the boundaries of my sport and represent the importance of a sound mind, body, and diet in achieving dreams.
