Bio: I’m the mom down the street with five kids and a full calendar. Life is a crazy juggling act but I wouldn’t trade the chaos for anything (most days).

I discovered my love for running years ago, mostly because it was the only peaceful time I could sneak away before the house woke up. Morning runs with friends became my therapy, and I’ve learned that trail running is both thrilling and mildly terrifying (in the best way).

I have a love for half marathons—just not the 3:00 am alarm that comes with them. I love the thrill of crossing the finish line! Cheering on others while pacing and helping them hit their goals is one of the most fun and rewarding parts of running!
