But I have roots in: Richmond, VA

I pay my rent/mortgage by: I’m a Corporate Trainer in the healthcare industry

My guilty pleasure is: Lying in the sun

When I was little, I wanted to grow up and be: A teacher

Now that I’m all growed up, I really want to: Learn & teach & play & explore

The best time I ever had on a bike was: So many! Taking out-of-town friends around my home trails, taking my mom out riding in the park, riding in new areas of the country, enjoying a long, flowy downhill reward after a tough climb

The worst time I ever had on a bike was: Toss-up between crashing & having my brake lever embedded in my thigh and getting dropped & left behind on what was supposed to be a fun group ride

My mama always used to say: Do you need to go to the bathroom before we leave?

I’ve always wanted a pet: I’m happy with my cats. I have a strict 2:1 cat-human ratio.

Because: They are loving, entertaining, and independent

Shout out to: Lorene Davidson for being my first MTB mentor and Kendell Ryan for making the first years of Bell Joy Ride RVA a smashing success

My five favorite words are: Can we ride it again?!
