I'm a long distance triathlete from a small, rural town in Canada. I didn't do any sports growing up but I started cycling with my dad when I was home from university. Six years later, I did my first triathlon, qualified for age group world champs at my first 70.3, and earned my pro license a year later.

​

In my third season racing pro, I was hit by a car while riding my bike. It took three years, hip surgery, and an army of help to get healthy and back to racing. Shortly after returning to racing, I realized something was still wrong and I was subsequently diagnosed with artery endofibrosis. I underwent vascular surgery after the 2022 season and hope to return to racing in late 2023. 

My goal to qualify for the 70.3 world championships has never changed but my perspective has and there is a lot more joy, gratitude, and a hell of a lot more fire in me since my accident.

​

I work as a freelance writer, graphic designer, sports model, and production assistant.

​

I love baking, being outside, and I have a soft spot for animals, the mountains, and doughnuts. I've lived all over Canada (including the arctic), California, France, South Africa, Australia, Namibia, the Netherlands, England, and Spain. Now I call the Canary Islands home.
