How did your mom inspire you to also get into the sport?

My mom showed me what strength looks like. She didn't just talk about it and watching her navigate her life
with purpose really made me want to do the same. For both of us the sport was just the perfect way to channel that energy.

When you’re in your flow, how do you feel?

When you’re in your flow,
how do you feel?

When I’m in my flow, I feel honestly unstoppable, it’s like time slows down and everything clicks into place.
When I’m fully present like that, I feel my most alive.

“The greatest lesson I’ve learned is that failure isn't final
unless you let it be. Once I’ve made
peace with a setback and I'm able to embrace it,
I'm able to go so much further forward.”

What issues are you particularly passionate about right now?

I care deeply about access and making sure girls and women in niche sports have real chances to grow and succeed.
I'm also super passionate about the intersection between tech and innovation and professional sports. There are
a lot of women who are the unsung heroes behind the scenes of the sports we love.

How do you feel in your LOF?

When I’m wearing Left on Friday I feel like I'm moving through the world as my truest self.
It makes me feel confident, comfortable, strong, and sexy.

What's a future goal for you?

Right now everything that I'm building is with the intention for it to last far beyond my athletic career. I want to
reinvent sports so that there is more opportunity for everyone. That's my bigger vision.

Left on Friday, where am I going?

I'll always be going to the lake. Whether it’s for a tournament or training, that's exactly where you’ll find me.
