City:  Thousand Oaks, CA
Hometown:  Thousand Oaks, CA
I run for Venturacers because:  I want to be part of a local running team to train with, and the team is competitive but also friendly and easygoing. After running competitively in college, then moving onto longer distances and training mostly on my own, I’m enjoying being part of a team again! 

PRs:
5000m (track) – 18:06 (Occidental Distance Carnival 2009)
5k (road) – 19:22 (5k4Life, Cambridge, MA 2012)
10000m (track) – 38:22 (Cal/Nevada Collegiate Championship 2010)

Half Marathon – 1:133 (New Bedford Half Marathon 2013)
Marathon – 3:15 (California International Marathon 2019)

My favorite workout is:  An easy run with a fartlek built in
My favorite race is:  The Boston Marathon – nothing beats those crowds
When I’m not running:  I’m chasing around my two kids, working as a physical therapist, baking, or spending time with my family
