ABOUT

I started running my freshman year at Juanita High School in Kirkland because my friends convinced me to join the cross-country team, and I continued to run in the spring after realizing I was better at sports which didn’t require things like hand-eye coordination.

I then competed for the NIRCA running club at Stanford University, coached by PattieSue Plumer and Ernest Lee. Returning to the Seattle area after graduating in 2020, I found myself missing the team atmosphere that comes with belonging to a club and joined CNW in the spring of 2021.
