I started paddling in 1997 as part of the Atlanta 1996 Olympic Legacy Program at the Lanier Canoe and Kayak Club. I made my first junior national team in 2003 and first senior national team in 2006. My favorite thing about the sport is the thrill of racing and the people I have met because of paddling. I also enjoy pushing myself to test my body's capabilities and striving to be the best in the world.
