Raised by two teachers with no athletic background, I grew up in a supportive, faith-driven family that taught me the importance of hard work, integrity, and helping others. After a major injury my junior year, I came back stronger—breaking my school records in both the mile and 5K as a senior. At YSU, I’m committed to being a dependable leader, strong student, and someone my teammates can count on. Off the track, I love spending time with friends, playing Clash Royale, watching Netflix, volunteering, and being active in Bible study in FCA. My long-term goal is to become a physical therapist, open my own business, and help injured athletes overcome challenges like I did. I hope to keep running competitively—maybe a marathon—and one day start a family. I’m looking to partner with brands that support high-performance athletes—such as Nike, Under Armour, and other running or athletic companies—as well as food and beverage brands like Reign and similar energy or nutrition.
