My dragon boat journey began years ago as a Scout mom when Troop 94 formed a "Paddling Parents" team. I only raced a couple of times, but I never forgot the energy, teamwork, and fun of the festival. When friends suggested starting our own team in 2023, I jumped at the chance. I helped recruit our original crew, and DragonBoat Z was born, complete with comic convention costumes and a sign that read, "Wait... this isn't Comic-Con?" It perfectly captured who we are: a team that loves to compete, laugh, and build community. As members have come and gone over the years, I've been grateful to serve as captain and help keep that spirit alive. Off the water, I'm an instructor at Northeast Iowa Community College, an improv performer, volunteer, theater enthusiast, board game fan, and proud mom of three adult children.
