I received my UCI Pro MTB license in 2019 after deciding that I wanted to start mountain biking at a serious level. My first Pro race was the Vail Lake ProXCT, and later that year I placed 6th at U23 MTB Nationals. A handful of results from 2021 are below:
2021 California State Road Champion Soldier Hollow Bike Fest (Midway, UT) - 5th Huffmaster Hopper (Maxwell, CA) - 3rd Telluride 100 XCM (Telluride, CO) - 3rd Leadville 100 (Leadville, CO) - 7th Belgian Waffle Ride (Cedar City, UT) - 4th Sea Otter Classic STXC & XC (Monterey, CA) - 2nd & 3rd, respectively Red Bull Bay Climb Open (San Francisco, CA) - 1st Fish Rock (Boonville, CA) - 1st
I decided to test the waters in the local road racing scene in the NCNCA (Northern California-Nevada Cycling Association), entering my first race in April of 2021 and upgrading to my Cat 2 less than a year later.
In 2022, I was the youngest rider selected for the Lifetime Grand Prix, finishing 18th overall out of 30 women who started the Series. I also raced the Redlands Bicycle Classic and Tour of the Gila with a composite team from Northern California, and won the San Rafael Sunset Criterium.

In 2023 I started a new NorCal-based domestic elite women's road team called Monarch Racing. I had become frustrated with the lack of support and opportunity for ambitious women road racers, and decided that I could create a positive change. In 2024, the team has 9 riders and a full pro road calendar including Redlands, Joe Martin, Pro Road Nationals, and the National Cycling League. Through the team, I also lead innovative U19 programming for girls - check out the Monarch Racing website's event page to see our upcoming events, and reach out with any questions or ideas.
