Eden loved swinging on the bars and tumbling at the park, so her parents decided to enroll her into gymnastics for fun at the age of four so she could have a safe place to flip around. She fell in love with the sport and started her competitive gymnastics career at Technique Gymnastics in Rancho Cordova, CA. She was the 2015 Level 8 NorCal State Vault Bronze Medalist, 2015 Level 8 Regional Floor Exercise Silver Medalist and 2016 Level 8 Regional Qualifier.
In 2017 as a level 9 gymnast, Eden placed sixth on balance beam at the State Championships, qualifying to the Region 1 Championships. She had a great level 9 season in 2018 where she placed first on floor exercise and fifth in the all-around at the State Championships. At the Region 1 Championships, she placed fourth in the all-around with a 37.600, fourth on balance beam and fifth on uneven bars. She qualified to the Level 9 Western Nationals in Utah where she finished eighth in the all-around with a 37.425 and seventh on balance beam.
Eden was unable to compete in 2019 due to an injury. She came back in 2020 as a level 10 gymnast. She qualified to the State Championships but unable to compete due to COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, Eden qualified to the Region 1 Championships. In 2022, Eden placed third on uneven bars with a 9.450 at the Level 10 State Championships and sixth on uneven bars with a 9.625 at the 2022 Region 1 Championships.
When Eden is not training 26-30 hours each week in the gym, she enjoys video editing, hanging out with her friends, baking and hiking. Currently, she is a 4.0 GPA honor student at Rio Americano High School.
