Born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana, I found my passion for endurance sports through my parents. I began competitive swimming at 6 years old and triathlon at 8, continuing to do so as I attended St. Simon the Apostle Catholic School (K-8) and Cathedral High School.

While a sophomore at Cathedral, I began racing internationally for USA Triathlon. The next two summers were spent in Girona, Spain training with Ian O’Brien Coaching. These experiences fueled my passion for travel and dream of pursuing triathlon at the highest level.

After finishing 9th in the Junior World Championships in Lausanne, Switzerland in 2019, I was recruited to compete at the University of San Francisco as a Division I Triathlete. I graduated in December 2023 with a Bachelor’s degree in International Business with experience studying abroad in Cali, Colombia and Madrid, Spain.

My triathlon journey has not been without challenges. My time at USF was riddled by injury and rehab. After graduation, I took a step away, but nothing lights my fire like triathlon. So here’s where I am now… finding my way back into professional triathlon for the love of sport and thrill of pushing myself beyond my limitations; and also as a way to encourage others to not shy away from the hardships along the way.
