About MeI was born in St. Petersburg, FL and have spent most of my life growing up in Florida, Tennessee and Illinois. I competed in soccer, cross-country and track throughout high school and went on to compete in indoor/outdoor track as well as Cross Country at Division I, Southern Illinois University. After graduating from college, I took a couple years off from competing, but really missed it. Since I was a lifeguard every summer throughout high school and college, I started to enjoy swimming and I began getting more interested in triathlon’s. As a kid I had competed in a few sprints and remembered it being fun. I started training on the bike and swim more often. I competed in my first 70.3 Ironman in 2011. As an amateur triathlete in 2011, I qualified to compete at the 2012 70.3 World Championships and the following year I made the USA Team to compete at the ITU Olympic Distance World Championship in London. During my 2013 season I also qualified for my pro card at Vineman 70.3 Ironman.
For the passed 4 years I have been working full time and competing. I have decided to focus more on training and racing this year and will be working part time. I’m very exited for this opportunity! One of my goals within the next 2 years is to qualify for the 70.3 World Championships. |
