IU is Home


College is not just a place where you learn textbook skills. Everyday I am amazing to see the things that higher education teaches me. I have now experienced a small private Christian college education and a Big 10 college education, and I see pros and cons of both. I am thankful I have been given the opportunity to experience both and I have found a place where I feel at home. People always ask me how I am doing in Bloomington, and I am honesty with them. Life is a sticky mess. Things have been very challenging the past few months, but life is about learning. IU has taught me so much about friendships, communication, and valuing me time. I am so excited to see where this school takes me and for all of the ways it changes me.




May these paths shape my future, my personality, and my goals.

Meet my Little 500 Team

This year is the 31st year of woman riding in the Little 500, and I am blessed to be on a team. Most people only know Little 500 because of the massive party that goes on. Little 500 is actually a cycling race which takes place in April at Indiana University. This year the women's race will be on Friday the 20th, and the men's race with be on Saturday the 21st. I joined the CSF cycling and begin training just before thanksgiving break. I am honored to represent the CSF house and ride with these amazing girls. We just finished our winter training camp and we are starting to focus in more on our training to reach our goals as we head towards the spring series. We spent the past few days dialing in our training plans and relaxing before the semester takes control of our lives. This semester will be ver challenging mentally, physically, and academically; I am ready to sacrifice for my team. These girls have only been in my life for a few months, but I already love them so much and we will have a bond which will last a life time. There will be many more Little 500 posts to come so brace yourself. Now, I would like to introduce you to my lovely team.

Be Still While Staying in Motion

Happy New Year! I love to reflect on the year and think about how I have changed, what I have learned, and important events. I do not do a "New Year Resolution," however, I do reflect on the past year and I see where I need improvement in my life. This year I am going to focus on enjoying my time more and seeing positives everyday in every situation. Life is very stressful, but it is a gift and I want to see the beauty in everything. I got a camera for Christmas, and I am really excited to share more of my life with you! This year, take a step forward and stay in motion.

I want to share so moments from this past year.

 The love and support of T-Park and Buddy

Visiting my dad for spring break, and going to Venice.


This summer I met Bethany, I bought a kayak, learned how to wakesurf, and wakeboard!

This is Anna. She is my neighbor on Dewart Lake. She was so welcoming to me and we shared many great times together. She treated me just like family and has one of the biggest hearts. She is my "lake mom." 

I got accepted and transferred to Indiana University Bloomington to study Business management in SPEA.

Meet my roommate Marisa, and we hit it off right away!

Joined IU Waterski and Wakeboard Team

The biggest loss this year was the white Sperry's... RIP in peace
