About Mika

Growing up on the water, I was drawn to the thrill of sailing from a young age. Over the years, I developed a deep love for high performance racing, drawn to the challenge of pushing both myself and my boat to the limit.

I’ve had the privilege of competing at the highest levels of youth sailing, including with the US Olympic Development Team. The transition to the Nacra 17, an Olympic-class foiling catamaran, has been one of the most demanding but rewarding experiences of my career. The speed, precision, and teamwork required make it one of the most exciting classes in the sport.

Beyond sailing, I balance training, school, and gym work, constantly striving to improve. Every hour spent on the water, in the gym, or reviewing race footage brings me one step closer to achieving my dream of being an Olympian. This journey is about more than just racing—it’s about resilience, growth, and inspiring others to chase their dreams, no matter the obstacles.
