WHAT’S THE NEXT CHALLENGE FOR YOU?
I have a goal this year, to be the youngest competitor ever to finish the Molokai to Oahu paddleboard race solo. I am super excited about all the fun and challenging surf contests, canoe and paddleboard races that are coming up this spring, summer and fall.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO OUTSIDE OF BEING IN THE OCEAN?
Outside the ocean, I love to play guitar, hang out with my little brother & family. I do chores around the house and yard, but don’t love those:) I work hard to make good grades in school too.
