Why Team Birkie?
I joined Team Birkie because I wanted to return to the Midwest and its amazing ski community and because I enjoyed the ability to simultaneously pursue experiences outside of skiing due to Team Birkie's proximity to large cities like Minneapolis and St. Paul.
How did you get into skiing?
I first got into skiing by skiing with my dad on the weekends at French Park, but I first got more seriously into skiing while competing for my high school team. My experiences going to the MN state ski meet with my high school teammates were some of my fondest ski memories.
Favorite skiing memory?
My favorite skiing memory was going to NCAAs with my college teammates in 2024. I had an amazing time not just racing, but spending time with my teammates and coaches the week leading up to the races.
Favorite place to visit in the midwest?
My favorite place to visit in the midwest is Lake Superior.
Favorite workout?
My favorite workout is a running workout that consists of 30 minutes of 200m on the track at 3k pace, 100m easy jog.
What keeps you motivated?
I am motivated by finding out how fast I can go and what my body can do.
Favorite pre-race breakfast?
Oatmeal with Nutella and peanut butter with a cup of espresso.
