Anna grew up racing BMX across the states with her three brothers. When her older brother decided to switch to mountain biking, she naturally followed. She raced her first downhill race in 2012, landing a 3rd place racing against the boys. From then onwards she knew that this is what she wanted to do. She’s been racing world cups since 2018, finishing 2nd in the overall as a junior two years in a row and getting a silver and bronze medal at the World Championships. For 2022, she co-founded her own pro UCI team with her partner in crime Abby Hogie. The two are committed to racing the World Cup circuit, as well as hosting skills clinics and getting people inspired to ride their bikes.

In the end we're all going to die. (Sounds sad, but I think it's a great reminder not to take life too seriously and just enjoy the ride)

Most Stephan King books, however I'd have to put Desperation at the top. I'm a big fan of scaring myself half to death before I go to sleep.
