Representing the Summer Solstice (June 21st) of 1989, I was born in Salt Lake City. I am a proud Utahn who has spent the majority of my life on skis. Every winter of my life I have possessed a season ski pass to Park City Mountain Resort, with a few extras from Deer Valley and the Canyons here and there. Once I got sick of small little bump jumps on the side of ski runs at the resort, I began jumping at age 7 following in the footsteps of my older brother Blake. And to this day I am still very much in love with this sport.
When I'm not jumping, I love drawing and painting. I am working towards a degree in art at Westminster College in Salt Lake City, Utah.
I have been a member of the Visa Women's Ski Jumping Team (WSJ USA) since the creation of the organization in 2004. I have 10 elite teammates who travel and compete all over the world with me. I, personally have jumped in 13 different countries.
Career Highlights
By the time I was 15 and had 2 ski jumping junior National titles, I made my Continental Cup (COC) debut in 2004 and went on to finish ninth in the COC overall standings two seasons later on the strength of 11 top-10 finishes. My best finish is a second-place on my home hill in Park City in 2005.
I finished eighth in both the 2006 and 2009 FIS Junior World Championships.
In 2008 and 2009, I finished third in both the K90 and K120 events at the U.S. Championships.
