5 years

Tell us a little bit about yourself

I love being able to paddle, especially white water, or the river in general. SUPing is something I like to do whenever I get a chance; it is so relaxing to feel the board under my feet and get to mess around. The river, for me, is a place where I can paddle out all my frustration and clear my mind. 

My passion for paddling also helps me be super conscious of the river conditions because, without the river, I would be sad. This past season, my dad and I bought a little river trash bag that we bring on the river with us almost every time we go, and whenever I see trash on the riverbeds or at the put-ins or takeout, I pick it up. SUPing is my favorite sport. I am a very athletic girl with a strong passion for the earth. My family is most important to me and my biggest supporter.

My favorite Hala board is the Atcha 8,6, and really want to try the 7,11. I love SUPing whitewater and the river in general. I love being outdoors. I have 3 older siblings, 1 sister and 2 brothers. I am always looking for an adventure and new memories. I also love teaching younger girls, and knowing that there are very few young girls who SUP, I would love to get more involved! I try to get out of my comfort zone when I can and explore. I love animals. Often, when I am not SUPing, I am hanging out with friends/ family or sports like snowboarding, skateboarding, SUPing, Soccer, and Basketball, and I am also learning how to fly-fishing.
