Tell us a little about yourself.

In college, I studied elementary education. In the same year I started to get around by bicycle, I was hit by a driver and hurt my leg. It got me into advocacy, making me look into: “Is it safe to ride a bike?” and “How can I make it safer?” That was in 2005. It still has been ongoing on a daily basis.
