My entire life has been dedicated to sports for as long as I can remember. I have played every sport from Pee Wee football to Gymnastics then to Pole Vaulting in College. Track and Field has always been my main focus in high school and in College. I ran Div. I Track and Field for four years at the University of North Texas. After my track career in college, I still wanted to pursue sports in my life and I came across a combine for bobsled/skeleton in the summer of 2011. I passed the combine and was invited to push champs and then later to driving school that year. I have been hooked ever since!! I ended this past season with many PR's in my push time and down time and placed 6th at Nationals. I am now starting my third season and I am looking forward to the competitive season with my sights set on making a tour and traveling to different tracks. The sport of skeleton is hard on athletes as the funding has been cut dramatically. Travel and living expenses alone can reach over $4000 a season. Even though the costs of the sport is high, it is an opportunity and a once in a lifetime chance for me to be part of the USA Skeleton Team and I will train, work, and do what it takes in hopes of reaching my Olympic dream!
