Born and bred in the NorthStar State and Land of 10,000 lakes— Minnesota
I am a 20 year veteran of the Dragon Divas of St. Paul, MN. We are now one of the largest BCS teams in the USA with a paddling membership of 140+.
I started steering practices at the bequest of our coach back in 2016. I began steering races in 2017, International BCS races in 2018 and have steered for various teams at PanAm events and at practices for teams in the metro over the past couple years. I love high stakes racing.
The only thing that scares me are pleasure boats that decide to whip around behind the staging areas of the race course and create dangerous conditions for the teams. Thrills- Getting a great start and a well executed race.
New Thrills— I started Liberty training with a rescue horse named Lucky Bea. I now sponsor her because I love her so much. I started archery lessons with my teenage grandson. He keeps me on my toes. Both activities help me quiet my mind and focus… great for steering.
