I’m getting married 8 days after the Sir Walter Mile and I met my fiancé at running camp.
I got my M.S. in Mechanical Engineering at Virginia Tech (Go Hokies) and work full time as an engineer.
I can walk on my hands, however, it isn’t as efficient as my running.
I started running through Girls On The Run when I was in third grade! Haven’t stopped since!
I really want a corgi puppy.

Do you have any superstitions/pre-race rituals? I’m not superstitious, but I’m a little stitious.
What’s your favorite sport (or athlete) to watch, besides running? Olympic swimming.
What’s a show or movie you’ve seen lately that’s worth watching? The Sing movies are phenomenal.
What’s a song or podcast that’s currently on your playlist? Anything Elton John.
Do you have any connections to Raleigh or North Carolina? I was in Raleigh for the Sir Walter Qualifier!
