My Values

At the heart of my paddling journey lies a deep respect for hard work, resilience, and authenticity. I believe in setting bold goals, tackling them head-on, and celebrating every step of the process. As much as I thrive on individual success, I also cherish the connections I’ve built within the paddling community—whether it’s encouraging fellow paddlers or inspiring the next generation to dream big. For me, being on the water is a gift, and I’m committed to promote a love for the ocean, a passion for sport, and the importance of perseverance.​​
