Personally, my goals are to continue to be happy and healthy, but also to run faster, go further, get stronger, as well as doing all of that with others (together). I would also like to further my reach in helping others building better versions of themselves on the inside and out through nutrition and physical activity.

Anything else you want to share?
I’m plant-based, passionate about running and love spending time outdoors whether it’s going on hikes with my pup, gardening (I grow a ton of veggies), or paddle boarding with friends. I love to explore new places and trying new things. When I’m home I’m watching the office, well except for when it was taken off of Netflix, so I just bought the series on iTunes. I really enjoy memes.. memes are life!
