Favorite inspirational quote: "I would rather aim for the stars and not hit them, than to not aim at all. I would rather go after it and not get it, than not go after it at all. I’d rather try and fail, than not try at all. I don’t want to live with the idea, wonder, what would have happened had I done more with my life." - T . D. Jakes
Favorite post-race indulgence: Champagne and pancakes
Favorite book: Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur
Of Note:
- Quality Assurance Specialist for CACI International
- Eldest of five children; parents managed to attend nearly every sporting event for each of the five sports she played over the course of 10 years
- Mom encouraged ("OK, forced") her to begin running when she was 12; registered her for a summer running camp and she's been running ever since
- Missed qualifying at 2019 Grandma's Marathon by 17 seconds; best friend urged her to go for one last try at CIM
