Most Memorable Race:

Boston Marathon 2018. YIKES!

Running Start:

As a three-sport athlete growing up, I was always thrown into a midfield position because my coaches realized I was pretty much the only person who actually enjoyed the running aspect of soccer, field hockey, and lacrosse. Once my time playing field sports ended, I would run to stay in shape. One day I was running next to woman on a treadmill who asked me if I wanted to run a marathon. I told her I'd never run more than 6 miles. She told me that's ok, we'll train together. 30 days later I ran my first marathon in Portland, Maine in 3:18, watchless and had an absolute blast.

Fun Facts:

  • I ran my first 5k in 2020

  • I have a Boston Terrier named Harlow

  • I have a phobia of maple syrup
