I am a total cat lady- I have two kitties named Cali and Kobe.
I am originally from Southern California, but I now live in Seattle. I joke that I am moving my way up the West coast, and will eventually be Canadian. haha
I was once on Ellen’s Game Show, and won.
I speak and can read and write in Hindi!
My favorite food is cheese. Women’s Running once wrote an article about this.

What’s something people should add to their podcast or streaming queue? Lately I have been obsessed with Vikings on Prime Video. Love historical fiction type shows. I work for a law firm, and we are working on a case related to the one covered in the Suspect podcast. It’s a good one!
What’s your favorite sport or sporting event outside of running? I grew up as a big soccer fan, especially of the USWNT. But I love watching most sports!
What’s your go-to pre-run meal or snack? Picky bars oatmeal- trail mix fix!
Do you have any connections to Raleigh or North Carolina? This will be my third time running the SWM!! + awesome Raleigh Oiselle volee community.
One positive change I’ve seen in the sport in the past year is… a more diverse set of creators/media getting the chance to take the center stage, and telling athlete stories!
