I grew up in Wallingford, PA a small suburb of Philadelphia. I have 2 older sisters who I am very close in age with and 1 younger brother who is about to go to college. Sports have always been a big part of my life whether it was playing them (which I did a lot of) or cheering on our Philly sports teams… Go Birds! (;
I competed in the Olympics for the first time in Paris last summer in the 800m. I didn’t advance as far as I had hoped but it was still a dream come true! I met so many of the athletes I have looked up to over the years, Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles, Sophia Smith and Rose Lavelle (but also the entire USWNT), LeBron James and most importantly Snoop Dogg.
I also played soccer year-round growing up and probably considered that my main sport. I played center back and won the Player of the Year award in our County for soccer but never for track!
My pre-race drink is a Venti Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew and according to everyone else that’s crazy?? But I drank it one time before a race in college and PR’d by 2 seconds so I’ve done it ever since and deserves all of the credit for any success I’ve had!
I have realized recently that my only hobby is drinking coffee and yapping with my friends so I just bought a digital camera that I am trying to learn how to use so I can take better quality pointless pictures of the sky/food/selfies that I take a lot of regularly. So far it’s not going well but I’m enjoying it so that’s all that matters!

What is your song of the Summer? Fine Ass Mess – Conro Remix (shoutout to my mental performance coach Bianca @runthisb for introducing me to all of my favorite songs)
What’s one place you’ve run that you wish everyone could grab a few miles on? The little path along the ocean in Monaco! It is the most beautiful place you could ever run and was made even better by having great company :)
What’s your favorite way to hydrate to beat the heat of the Summer? Xendurance hydration sticks!!!!! I have like 10 a day idk if that’s even allowed???
What’s something you do for fun in your “offseason?” Go to the beach or just spend time as much time as I can with everyone I love!! I am an Aunt to my 3 favorite people on Earth, Eva (6), Kari (4) and Brody (1.5)! So any time I am not spending training or racing I spend visiting them.
Do you have any connections to Raleigh and/or North Carolina? I do not, I’m not sure if I have ever been to NC before this meet so I’m excited to finally get to see what all of the hype is about :)
