Advice

Find a coach that you really trust. Working with a coach not only helps me maximize my minimal training time, but is a built-in support system when I struggle with burnout, diet, and other stressors

If I'm Not Competing...

Working in the veterinary emergency hospital, studying for my master’s program, or taking my dogs up north!

One Thing You Don't Know About Me:

I am a classically trained musician and seriously considered majoring in music performance instead of pursuing my veterinary degree!
