Former track star turned mountain/ultramarathon runner. I do my best.
SPONSORED BY:
The running part is great and all, but what really keeps me at these long distances is the incredible community of people. I'm happy to have found my place in it all, helping to share the stories of others through writing, and sometimes sharing my own. You can find instances of the latter through podcasts (TrailRunner Nation, Ginger Runner Live), interviews (Ultrarunning Magazine, TrailRunner Magazine), and even a few film projects (I'm the one with the giant ball of hair. You can't miss me.) . I'm also proud to volunteer as a running camp mentor for military veterans each fall.
ACHIEVEMENTS:
- 40+ trail ultra finishes
- 8x 100-mile finisher
- First place finishes: Rio del Lago 50k, Malibu Creek 50k, Ozark Trail 100mile, Bishop High Sierra 50mile, Ultra Santa Fe 50k
