Surfing large waves has always been my biggest passion, and I’ve enjoyed surfing Mavericks in the winter and traveling to Puerto Escondido for the summer over the years. I graduated from UCSC with a degree in biology and I am now working towards a degree in nursing. Two of the memorable experiences I have gained from surfing were competing in Coco Nogales Mexican Pipeline Tube Ride Invitational in 2011, and participating in the first ever women’s exhibition in the men’s Big Wave World Tour at Nelscott Reef in 2010.
