Appearances

My favorite part of what I do is sharing my experiences and expertise with others so that they too can be empowered and inspired to create a fulfilling life and be at their best. Adventure and movement have been so influential in shaping my life and who I am. I love being a resource and passing on what I have learned.

Speaking

I speak to groups of all demographics about a variety of topics. I will work with you and your organization to create a motivational, inspirational, and educational talk that will best serve your audience. I have spoken to groups of entrepreneurs, kids' bike clubs, high school students, women's mountain bike camps, BLM/Forest Service workers, and given open presentations for members of the community at various venues.

Bikepacking, Bikerafting, and Mountain Bike Skills Coaching

I am a PMBIA Certified Mountain Bike Skills Coach. I coach most levels of mountain bike rider from never-evers to those looking to dial in their technical skills for racing. I also coach road bikers on improving your technical skills on the road -- the same skills in mountain biking translate to make you a stronger and safer road biker! I coach in-person clinics and camps on bikepacking and bikerafting (the combination sport of bikepacking + packrafting!).
