I am a runner at University of Missouri, pursuing a degree in Industrial Engineering. I am originally from Spokane, Washington, but came to Mizzou for the adventure and thrill of a new place. My coaches and teammates have also created something so special here. Since my dad played professionally, I grew up on soccer for seven to eight years. The thrill of that wore off though, and I picked up ballet. Same thrill died off, but then came running, and I have never been more passionate about a sport. Running has never been just about the passion though; I strive to use my talent to glorify God and point it all back to him.
