In my current role, I run the organization’s social media accounts and website, keeping more than 1,000 members of the class informed about upcoming regattas, events, and news within the sailing community. I collaborate closely with the Class President, Secretary, and executive team to plan and publish relevant content that maintains strong engagement, reaching over 90,000 views per month. At regattas, I create on-site content by filming interviews, capturing photography, and updating race results on the website to provide timely coverage for the class.

Beyond my professional role, I am an active and committed member of the class, racing at multiple events throughout the year. I am eager to be involved in marketing, fundraising, and the merchandise committees. My competitive experience includes winning the 2024 Women’s North American Championship and finishing 13th at the 2025 World Championship. One of the most meaningful aspects of my involvement is racing alongside my family, including my father, cousins, aunt and uncles, and brother. These shared experiences have created lasting memories and made my opportunities within the class truly unique, strengthening both my personal connection to the sport and my dedication to the community.
