I am a 3x Paralympic discus thrower hailing from Swisher, Iowa. I graduated from the University of Northern Iowa in 2021 with an honors degree in biology, where I trained and competed as a student athlete. As a professional athlete, I have broken my own world record 6 times. A few of my life's passions are disability advocacy and the promotion of youth and women's sports. I am a professional motivational speaker and love sharing my sport and life story with schools and with the public. Outside of sports I am an active reader and lover of nature. I can be found sewing, embroidering, and baking.
