Hometown: Temecula CA
Background: I was a swimmer and water polo player in High School. I always loved competitive sports and was looking for ways to stay in shape after graduating high school. I took up running and decided a half marathon was going to be my first race in 2013, I never stopped running since.
Racing competitively since: I have done so many different types of endurance sports and races, but 2013 is when I fell in love with running.

Favorite workout: 5 mile tempo runs at Lake Miramar, 1K and 1600 track workouts
Words to live by: The only time you should look back is to see how far you’ve come ;)
Why I choose to run for PRT: PRT is like a family! The team aspect is why I love PRT. Although running is an individual sport, being a part of the team makes you so much better as a runner and individual as well.

What I like to do besides running: Crochet, quality time with my hubby, travel, spend time with my cats, hike and camp.
