About Me.
I started road biking when I was living in Japan as an English teacher, and after doing well in local races I was recruited by a women’s team, Asahi Muur Zero (now disbanded).
I rode with them for three years and during that time did several international UCI stage races in China, Thailand, and the US. After returning to the US at the end of 2016 I discovered and fell in love with Gran Fondo and gravel, and turned my focus to racing those disciplines. I am a GFNY world champion and a three-time USAC Gran Fondo national champion.
In 2017 I started my coaching business, and since 2022 have been coaching full-time. I am very thankful to be able to say that I absolutely love my job!
