Look for my finger brace while you race...

I grew up casually riding bikes around the suburbs of Chicago, and continued commuting as I lived in the city after college. One day I wiped out on some ice on the Lake Shore path, and a friendly (yet intimidating) Sarah Rice laughed at me and then encouraged me to try racing bikes. My first race was Montrose CX in 2013, and then racing sank it's claws into me. I started working as a messenger and did some alley cats, then tried my hand at road, then track, then cross, and now I do a little bit of everything and can't get enough. Racing has introduced me to the most amazing people and places, and I'm beyond stoked to continue the adventures with the Cuttin Crew.
