Emily Shryock is a para triathlete competing for the USA on the world triathlon circuit. Although she is currently competing among the best in the sport, her journey as a para athlete actually began with rugby. She tells us about how valuable the sporting community was to her in learning how to navigate life as a wheelchair user, after battling the neurological effects of Lyme disease. Beyond that, we hear about her work at UT Austin within the disability cultural center, as well as life with her adorable canine companion, Maple! Emily shares such a great glimpse into what life is like for her as an elite para athlete, as well as all her other endeavors to elevate the lives of others.
