A Coronado Comeback: Featured in The Coronado Eagle & Journal

I had the opportunity to share my story with The Coronado Eagle & Journal—a full-circle moment in the community where my sailing journey first began.

The piece dives into what it means to return to elite-level competition after nearly two decades away from the sport, and why this chapter—Second Wind Racing—is about more than just results.

Highlights from the feature:

  • My early years sailing in Coronado and competing internationally as a teenager

  • The decision to step away from Olympic sailing—and what brought me back

  • Balancing training, travel, and competition while raising two kids

  • The reality of funding an Olympic campaign later in life

What stood out most in this conversation was the reminder that timelines don’t define what’s possible. The dream didn’t go away—it waited until I was ready to come back stronger, clearer, and more committed than ever.
