I married my husband Eric in 2017. We met at Ohio State and got married a few years after we graduated. He works as the Director of Talent Management at MedVet and we have a dog, Cooper.

Finishing third in my first USATF Road Championship race in 2019, four years after I had two brain surgeries.

After graduating college in 2013, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. After two years of tests, MRI’s every six months and multiple visits with different neurosurgeons, it was decided the best course of action was to remove it. I had surgery in January of 2015. The next few months of rehab were difficult. I had temporary paralysis of the left side of my body due to swelling on the brain and developed hydrocephalus, causing a second emergency surgery three months after my first. Eventually, eight months after my surgery, I was cleared to run again. Being competitive, I quickly pushed myself to get back to running and ended up having a seizure while running on a treadmill. In the two years after my brain surgeries, I got engaged and married my best friend. Shortly after our honeymoon, he was diagnosed with cancer. He had multiple surgeries and underwent chemo, but fortunately beat cancer in 2018. Is is now five years cancer free. I feel grateful to be on the other side of our health battles and fortunate to pursue running at an elite level.

Running a PR of 1:10:51 for the half marathon in my hometown at the Nationwide Children's Columbus Half Marathon. I love running through the streets of Columbus and being around my home community. It is a special race that supports Nationwide Children's Hospital and there is a child honored at every mile. Being able to compete at an elite level is something I am proud of and it is more special when I can race at home.
