Bicycle

Exploring the world by bicycle allows me to immerse myself in diverse landscapes and foster meaningful connections with nature and people, all while shaping my worldview along the way.

Transcontiental Bicycle Ride

In 2012 I rode my bicycle across the United States during a time when the country was experiencing a record breaking drought. This experience deeply influenced my path as a scientist, shaping my goals and motivations. Conversations with farmers and ranchers along the way gave me valuable perspectives that still guide me today.

Enduro Racing

All throughout graduate school I raced enduro mountain bikes at an elite level. My regimented training plan, constant weekend adventures, and exploring nature by bike was one of the most important methods of self care. Then and now, riding mountain bikes keep me grounded and give me space to process complex ideas.
