How I got into Skydiving: Decided one day that my sisters and I needed to do a tandem. After college, I sold my motorcycle to pay for my license.
What I like best about 4-way: When the team is just flowing through a jump and everyone is crushing it.
What I like best about SDC Rhythm XP: Pushing through all the hard training and know that we have each other’s back and then seeing the progress.
Favorite moments with the team: After a hard day of training, we share a meal
Outside of Skydiving, one day I hope to: slightly outside of skydiving but fly some planes
