Most Memorable Race:

My final track race in college -- I had only run the steeplechase a few times prior, and the week before had a DNF (nearly passed out a mile in due to some unforeseen circumstances), so I was unsure how this race would go. I kept a positive attitude throughout and came away with an 18 second PR, narrowly missing qualifying for the national meet but ending my collegiate career on a high note nonetheless.

Running Role Model:

My parents are my biggest running role models and motivators. My dad hasn't missed a day of running in over 20 years... though this is arguably crazy, I can't help but be inspired by his constant dedication and persistence.

Fun Facts:

I've been running competitively since I was 11
Onions are my favorite food
I studied in Barcelona during college
