I am an elementary school major on the cross-country and track and field team at Arkansas State University. I absolutely love to run and I am a very big advocate for mental health awareness in our sport as someone who really struggles with anxiety. I also gave struggled with disordered eating and have worked with athletes who have struggled with eating disorders, raised awareness for it, and worked to educate others. I also want to work more with Special Olympics especially knowing people with autism. And some of my favorite things to do are read, spend time outdoors, and play with dogs (dogs are wayyy better than cats!). I also love peanut butter and swear by it for pre-race food. A major thing with me is I am in love with my faith. I am a Catholic and definitely struggle, but try to find my identity in that before anything else. I want to spend my life after college running, coaching the future generations in the sport, teaching, and making a difference in the lives of others.
