Personal Bio:
I did my first triathlon when I was 4 years old and raced competitively throughout high school and undergrad. I raced in ~9 national championships and a world championship. I switched to distance running in 2019 setting my goals on qualifying for Boston. I now look towards improving my personal bests at every distance while having fun and meeting new people along the way!
