About Me: (in 4 sentences or less) I grew up in the most
beautiful state, Montana,
as well as learned to kayak at eleven years old. Thanks to Jessie Rice, I started creek
boating at 21 years old when I moved to Reno
to begin my Civil Engineering degree. By
the end of 2009 I hope to graduate from college, win a mountain bike race (even
if I’m the only girl it still counts), and win another California Challenge.
Playboat: The Green Boat
Creekboat: Nomad 8.5
Favorite Move: The “Plug”
Favorite Music: O.G. Rap, Country
Must-Have Accessory: Cell phone I
guess. So I can keep in contact with my
#1 sponsor… thanks Mom.
Other Hobbies/Activities: Finishing Engineering
degree, mountain biking, watching Oprah, running, drinking coffee and chatting,
dirt biking is rad too.
Professional Accomplishments:
I’ve paddled for
Dagger for 3 complete seasons now and am co-Founder of the “So You Think You’re
Hot” photo contest. I’m featured in the videos The Last Descent,
Hotel Charley, and various other Cali
specific videos. My biggest claim to
fame is 2nd place in the “Dirty Dozen” Green Race and I got 2ndat Teva Games too… But I got 1st in the California Challenge 2008!
Why you love kayaking: It is absolutely the
only thing in the world that scares me into complete self empowerment.
