ABOUT ME:

I grew up tucked in the mountains in Palmer, Alaska. I was motivated by the peaks that surrounded me every day, with my love for the mountains starting as a small kid, backpacking and exploring the peaks of Palmer and beyond. I love how La Sportiva challenges what is possible in mountain exploration and racing.

PROUDEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

1. 5th Place at Mount Marathon in July of 2023
2. 8th US woman in Sunapee Scramble June 2026
3. 10th at the USATF trail half marathon champs in 2025
4. 2nd in the Olympus VK 2025 in Litochoro Greece (best venue ever)
5. Pro division win at Alyeska Cirque Series 2022

Q+A: 

Who is your favorite running partner and why?

My favorite running partner is my border collie, Summit. He is always by my side on any trail and absolutely shares my enthusiasm for the outdoors. I also love sharing miles with Mia Crocker, I am not sure how I can manage this but I can laugh through a whole long run with her.

What is your go-to hype song?

"Purple Hat" by Sofi Tukker

What was the first La Sportiva product you tried?

I just recently found a photo of 12 year old me on Matanuska Peak wearing a super old version of maybe the Helios trail shoe if I were to guess. I remember my mom would buy me a new pair of La Sportiva shoes ahead of every summer for all the backpacking and trails we would do as kids.

Which charity/advocacy organizations do you support or belong to?

I support the Natural Resource Defense Council in providing protection for the wildlife and natural resources around us. I am starting law school in the fall and wish to utilize my passion for the outdoors to better the world around us through the practice of law.
