Most Memorable Cycling Experience: When my husband and I were dating, we took a day trip to bike from Fort Fisher to the ferry crossing, then into and around Southport.  We spent the whole day explore the area by bike, stopping at local places for food and drinks.  It was such a fun and creative date idea!

Most Prided Cycling Accomplishment: Continuing to commute by bike throughout my pregnancy and now being able to take my toddler out for rides.

Motivation to Ride: Keeping healthy and making an effort to save gas.

Professional / Educational Background: I don't have any professional cycling background related materials. I was taught most of what I now about bike mechanics from my former employer.  I've enjoyed learning new methods from the other mechanics at our shop.

Fun Fact: My commuter bike is a single speed steel Surly Crosscheck.  I enjoy the simplicity and comfort it allows on the crazy Wilmington roads.

Favorite Motto: Let's taco 'bout it!
