Earlier in my journey, I had the privilege of being supported by a Pelotonia Fellowship. That experience gave me a firsthand look at how powerful research can be: not just as an idea in a lab, but as something that can truly change the course of people’s lives.

Today I’m part of the biotech community working to help build the platforms that turn scientific discoveries into real therapies for patients. Every day I get to see the dedication, creativity, and persistence it takes to move science forward. Progress doesn’t happen overnight, but it happens because people believe there are no limits to what we can achieve.

That’s why Pelotonia means so much to me.

I ride to give back to the research community that once invested in me. I ride to support the scientists pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. And most importantly, I ride for the patients and families who are still waiting for the next breakthrough.

Every dollar raised through Pelotonia goes directly to cancer research at The James. Your support helps fuel the discoveries that will lead to better treatments, better outcomes, and someday a world without cancer.

Thank you for being part of this ride with me.
