I became involved in running to get into shape after becoming overweight following high school graduation, and learning I enjoyed it. I didn’t compete in high school, but I ran for Carroll community college and helped achieve runner up in the region for cross country whilst also earning a spot on the all-MD JUCO team for the 2025 season. My goal for the near future is to qualify for Boston and to run most of the races my mother did when she was a runner.
