This being my first year riding in RAGBRAI, I have set my goals towards the sky! I plan on riding the whole week and raising $500. The money that is raised is not for my personal use, it actually goes towards scholarships for Upper Iowa Univeristy. I am a very outgoing, optimistic young lady who lives for adventure and loves to try new things. I find the cause in helping those less fortunate receive scholarships is very rewarding, that's why I'm excited to ride in RAGBRAI.

I come from a small town, where people are always helping each other. It can be as simple as an egg or a cup of sugar, so it is in my nature to want to help with something as big as this.

Thank you for helping me help those achieve their higher learning goals.
