Interests

While in school, I was a Division 1 cross country and track athlete in the mile, 3K, 5K at UVA and UR. I still competitively train post-collegiately and look to run longer distances and staying active! Check out my PRs on my World Athletics profile. Or even follow along with my training on Strava and see what I'm up to this week!

When I'm not running, I enjoy spending time outdoors hiking or on the bike in Shenandoah National Park. I enjoy most types of music and am always looking for new artists to listen to. Some of my top albums include

  • Imaginal Disk - Magdalena Bay
  • Getting Killed - Geese
  • Nightlife - Thin Lizzy
  • Chasing Waves - Vista Kicks
  • What's Going On - Marvin Gaye
