She has built momentum with wins around the world in 2014, with World Series win in Abu Dhabi, the World Championships in Nicaragua (Distance), the Lost Mills International SUP Race in Germany as well as the “FASTEST FEMALE PADDLER ON EARTH”, Battle of the Paddle Distance and overall champion as well as the Overall 2014 World Champion in the World Series.
