What are some of your proudest running accomplishments?

During Covid, running became the only time I was out of my apartment and it was the activity I looked forward to most each day. At this point, I feel like I can't stop running since I've been doing it so long, but it was nice to fall back in love with it. Ultimately, I'm just happy that I've been running consistently for more than half my life and still enjoy waking up early and starting my day off with a run.

​

Looking into the years to come - what is an activity/race/goal that you hope to achieve or will push you out of your comfort zone?

My longer PRs are all from XC; so, I'd like to get in a fast road race and see what I can do on something flat. I also want to run my first half-marathon and marathon. I've never raced anything longer than 6k; so, I think putting myself in a race that is 4x longer (at a minimum) will be a challenge both mentally and physically.

​

Career: I work in Finance at Alcon, so basically I spend my day in front of the computer! When I'm not working, I enjoy reading and baking. 

​

School: I grew up in Prosper, TX and attended Prosper High School. For college, I went to UNT and competed for their XC and track teams.
