Hi! I’m a runner with a passion for fitness and community! From running cross-country and track in high school to finishing the Napa half marathon in 2024, running has been an incredible outlet for me. I also enjoy hiking, cooking, needlepoint, Oregon Ducks football (SCO DUCKS!), and love a good natural wine! As a proud Oakland native, I aim to create a welcoming space for our community to connect and thrive through fitness.
