Most Memorable Run:

At the beginning of every college cross country season my entire team would drive out to this massive forest preserve in the middle of Ohio. We would run in packs through winding trails, hills, and rocky terrain. It was a pretty brutal long run. At the end of the run was this watchtower we could climb to get an amazing view of the forest. I always looked forward to it because it was one of the first runs of the year where the entire team would be together.

Running Start:

I always wanted to join a sport growing up that I had a decent chance of competing in, but I never had an idea of what sport since I wasn't the most athletic kid. A friend of mine on our high school's cross country team convinced me to join and I never looked back.

Fun Facts:

  • I can't whistle

  • There is a 6 year age gap between myself and each of my three sisters (I'm the second oldest)

  • I bought a lot of house plants at the beginning of the pandemic
