| BIOGRAPHY |
|||||
| I have been competing in kayaking for over five years and I have represented the United States in world-class races. I currently live and train in Charlotte, NC at the US National Whitewater Center. I hope to achieve many things in my kayaking career such as going to the Olympic Games in 2012, World Championships, and World Cups. I also love training with all the other NRC athletes and I thank the club for all the help I've recieved in the past. | |||||
