As an avid Nordic skier, I am very excited to be a part of Fast Haus Ski & Bike as well as part of this thriving local community of skiers in Laramie! I did not grow up in a skiing family, I stumbled upon the sport of cross-country skiing as a freshman in high school. This discovery would shape the trajectory of my life. I quickly became interested in biathlon, a sport in which I competed until I was 21. At that point I had surgery that made it clear that my progress as an athlete was at its height. With this in mind, I moved on to instructing and coaching. This path lead me all the way to the US Biathlon National team coaching staff where I was lucky enough to travel the world as part of the World Cup and IBU Cup.

My downhill skiing experience started at the age of 22 at Bridger Bowl outside of Bozeman, MT. One of my first ever runs was Hidden Gully ā€“ amazing what a 22 year old will do! Since then, I have enjoyed my time skiing in Montana, Vermont, New Hampshire, New York and Utah. I also became an avid backcountry skier during my time in Utah. Iā€™m excited to explore all that Wyoming has to offer!

In the summer you will find me backpacking, mountain biking and trail running, usually with my dog Stella tagging along. Just to add more options I see a paddleboard in my future!
