I’m a doctor of physical therapy by day
I’m also a high school cross country coach, and love COACHING cross country, but would much rather race on a track than cross country
I grew up in upstate NY and went to college in Ithaca
I didn’t start running at an elite level until 8 or so years after college, more specifically after COVID, when I was able to up my training due to having extra free time.
I have two adorable dogs named Kai and Cedar. (Kai once had a faster 1 mile PR than me, but I have since taken back the family mile title)

What is your go-to training shoe? I switch things around and usually have two pretty different shoes in rotation (right now it’s the HOKA Clifton and the Brooks Launch)
What’s your favorite cross training activity?sleeping. lol in all seriousness probably road biking up hills
What’s a show, movie, or podcast that everyone should check out? I’m currently into House of Dragons right now (show) but don’t watch a lot of TV
If I weren’t a runner, I’d mostly likely be…I am a physical therapist, but if I were to pick a different career, it would be something environmental science related, but if it were a different sport, it would be soccer player
Do you have any connections to Raleigh and/or North Carolina?My sister lived there (here?) briefly.I am an east coaster! (but further North)
