How did you get into cycling? Cycling has always been a big part of my ski training, I loved the long endurance rides on weekends. In 2018 I got pulled into Ecycling on Zwift where I found my competitive me again and where I can fully unwind my skillset.

How many years have you been racing on Zwift? Since 2019
Are you part of a Virtual team? Yes, Aeonian Racing Team
What do you love most about racing? I love the whole race prep, getting everything on point and tuning up the excitement before the race and then execute and call off everything I have been working on.
What is your favourite style of race (e.g. points, scratch, iTT, TTT, Chase, duathlon)? I have not really a specific favorite, if I need to name some it would be TTT, Scratch and Point races.
What is your favourite Zwift women’s race series? Not particularly women only – the Tiny Race series is pretty cool.
What is your most memorable racing experience, inside or outside or BOTH? My first World Championships in 2023 – I don’t race outdoors.

What is your favourite food to eat post race? Cinnamon Bun
What advice would you give to a woman entering her first Zwift race? Don’t expect anything, just push the pedals and hang on as long as you can and see where you are and go from there.
Any upcoming race are you looking forward to? All the races 🙂 Most excited about World Championships in October and the Qualifiers for it.
