Best running experience: The whole process of my older sister “recruiting” me to become a runner in high school. I don’t think I ever actually signed up for cross country, I think she just signed me up and did some pre season running with me! The mishaps, small wins & mentoring make me laugh to this day.
Passion(s) outside of running: Guitar, riding bikes & reading
Favorite post-run meal: Waffles or oatmeal with berries & almond butter, another coffee with almond milk!
