Volunteer Work

Helping the Western Washington University XC and Track Teams

About

Grew up in Sammamish, Washington. I got into running in 2006. I was excited to earn the opportunity to run for Western Washington University from 2011-2015. I competed at the NCAA championships 4 times, three times in XC and once in outdoor track. Being a runner can mean different things to people. This sport has so much variety and I get so excited about the opportunities available. I plan to focus on track for a while and see what I can really do in a 1500 and 800, seeing as I never really focused on those events before.
