About
In 2026, I launched a privateer program focused on a systematic pursuit of excellence in gravel racing. I struggle to do things halfway and strive for perfection. I built this program to showcase what is possible when diligent preparation, self-reflection, consistency, and supportive partners come together.
I have been racing bikes for over 12 years across road, track, cyclocross, and gravel. I have raced professionally on the road for DNA Pro Cycling and Cynisca Cycling, with significant experience in the Americas and Europe. My whole family rides — racing was a family affair growing up.
I'm currently completing an online BSc in Health Sciences at Queen's University with a 3.9 GPA. Outside of racing, I love a beach day, a good book, and a freshly baked cinnamon roll — my specialty.

Why Gravel
The more variables there are to master — fitness, equipment, technical skills, fuelling, weather, logistics — the more I thrive.
Gravel brings together things I am drawn to: new challenges and complete ownership of each aspect of racing. The increase in responsibility does not intimidate me, it excites me. I am obsessive about preparation, and gravel gives me the freedom to perfect every part of the process.
