Welcome! I’m so glad to be sharing a part of my story with you.

Movement and sports have always been a meaningful part of my life. Growing up as a competitive athlete, I fell in love with the structure, discipline, and sense of purpose that came with it. When life shifted into new seasons, I found myself missing that connection more than I expected.

As life became fuller and louder with three children, I realized how easy it was to move through each day without ever really checking back in with the parts of myself that once felt so familiar. Running started simply because it was something that fit seamlessly into my schedule. I could lace up my shoes, step outside, and move — without worrying about practice times, team schedules, or competing logistics.

But over time, running became so much more than exercise.

It became the place where I find parts of myself again.
The place where I release stress and clear my mind.
The place where I recharge, reflect, and grow.

Running has taught me that strength is not only physical. It is mental, emotional, and deeply personal. Some days it challenges me, some days it heals me, and every day it reminds me that I am capable of becoming someone greater than I was the day before.

I run for the version of me that feels most whole. For me, the miles feel like meditation, and I like who I am when I am running.

This is also a part of my story I’m using to give back.

Over the past 9 years working in healthcare innovation, I’ve seen firsthand how much progress is possible when people come together to advance care. I’ve come to deeply value not only meaningful advances in healthcare, but also the work being done in childhood cancer. Efforts that create real leaps forward in treatment and, just as importantly, in how families are supported through the hardest moments.

That’s why I joined Team Tommy. Their mission is rooted in providing direct help and hope to children with cancer and their families throughout treatment and beyond, and I’m grateful to be part of a community aligned with what I care about.

Please help me support Tommy Fund for Childhood Cancer by making a donation to my fundraising page and sharing it with your family and friends. Every dollar I raise will advance Tommy Fund for Childhood Cancer's great cause.

And if you’re here looking for ways to give back, or searching for that same feeling,  whether it’s strength, peace, confidence, balance, or simply time for yourself,  I hope this is a reminder that it’s never too late to reconnect with the parts of yourself you thought you had to let go of!
