Born with a congenital limb difference, Liv grew up playing soccer and competing on her high school rifle team in Lancaster, PA. At 14, she discovered surfing at a Bethany Hamilton retreat, and her connection to the sport took off after attending a CAF-supported surf clinic at the BroAm in 2018. Within months, she competed with Team USA at the ISA World Para Surfing Championships and later moved with her family to Southern California to pursue her career. Liv went on to win three consecutive world titles from 2020–2022 and has since shifted her focus to new goals—earning a degree in Environmental Science, training for a half marathon, and relaying a Half Ironman with fellow CAF athletes. Whether at clinics or on social media, Liv continues to empower others to find their own passion through movement and community.
