POSA World Championships November 2024, Cesenatico, Italy. and/or "How I spent Black Friday in 2024."

I become a pole dance world champion. I traveled to Italy in November 2024 with Team USA and won the Women’s 40+ Competitive Pole Sport category at the POSA World Championships. I’m heading to Budapest in December to see if I can defend my title. I spend my working hours at Roche Tissue Diagnostics doing R&D.

[post from Oct. 14, 2024] Since earning my PhD in chemistry, I’ve spent 10+ years working at Roche Tissue Diagnostics in R&D. I recently received my Six Sigma Black Belt certification. Currently, I’m preparing to represent the USA in the POSA Pole Sport World Championships for the second time. Adam Mills (HMC ’03) and I are still together after 22 years.
