Summary

A dedicated adaptive athlete with a diverse competitive background in wheelchair rugby, CrossFit, high school swimming, and wheelchair basketball. I’ve spent years pushing my limits across multiple sports while living with Friedreich’s Ataxia, building both discipline and resilience through training and competition. Beyond athletics, I share my journey on Instagram, posting about adaptive fitness, my daily lifestyle, and the realities of living with a neuromuscular disease. Through transparency, humor, and hard work, I strive to be a positive influence for people of all abilities—showing that strength, progress, and possibility exist in many forms.
