This will be second time running the Sir Walter Miler and I am excited about it.
I love to cook different dishes.
I like running in the triangle on the (American) Tobacco Trail, Umstead Park and the Neuse River Trail.
I like to go to different coffee shops with teammates after the run and instead of getting coffee, I get tea.
I like to listen to fiction stories. I think they are interesting.

What is/are your go-to training shoe(s)? Puma Magnify Nitro 3 and ForeverRUN
What’s your favorite cross training activity? I would say I like to bike.
What’s a show, movie, or podcast that everyone should check out? Currently I have been watching House of the Dragon.
If I weren’t a runner, I’d mostly likely be… playing Soccer.
Do you have any connections to Raleigh and/or North Carolina? I started my university 40 minutes away from Raleigh and now I train around here now with Puma Elite.
