I live and train in Bend, OR with my family. My husband, Travis, and I met running in college. Our son, Lewis, is 2 years old and we have an English creme retriever named Atlas.

I've qualified for the Trials twice, which is such a dream! Unfortunately, both times I've had to deal with a bone injury in the build-up to the Trials race. In 2020, I had an avulsion fracture in my toe that kept me in a boot for about 10 weeks. Leading into that race, I was able to reintroduce running into my training about two months out from the race. This time, I was diagnosed with two stress reactions in my pubic bone just after Thanksgiving. I had about eight weeks of just swimming and did my first run on January 4th - just 30 days out from the Orlando race. It's been an unconventional build- up to say the least, but I'm excited to be there and see what is possible!

Experiencing the Trials in Atlanta is a top memory, for sure!
