Shaped by Athletics
Growing Up
I started my athletic journey at a young age which grew my love for soccer and competition that would carry with me to today. At the young age of 5, my parents signed me up for soccer, which I went on the play competitively for many years. Alongside soccer, I ski raced and ran track for a few years, before stopping to fully focus on soccer. I finished my official soccer career playing Division 1 soccer at Sacramento State University, but my love for sports and competing has pushed me to try other things.
What Now
Being done with college soccer and organized sports, I have missed training and competing. I chose to challenge myself by running a marathon, channeling the grit and competitiveness I've developed over the years through soccer to my training, and qualified for the Boston Marathon. Running at Boston was a great experience, and grew my love for endurance sports. However, endurance sports is not all. Getting into Crossfit and functional training has been a crucial part of my fitness journey and been a great way of pushing myself, making me a better athlete for all else I love to do. I have goals of doing an Ironman and running Rim to Rim to Rim at the Grand Canyon, and am excited to keep pushing my limits.
