She began her sports journalism career with Cyclingnews as a North American Correspondent in 2006 before moving into a Production Editor's role in 2014, writing, producing and publishing international racing content.

She investigates, researches and reports on some of cycling's major issues and explores topics bigger than our sport that delve into worldwide impacts.
