Biography

I started running trail races in high school after volunteering at the Hardrock 100, and I'm still most inspired by long days in wild places. I'm a student in applied math at the University of Utah, the executive director of Footprints Running Ltd, and I'm always looking for ways to connect running and racing to environmental and social issues. The running community has always supported me and my goals; my focus now is to help mobilize all of us to protect our future together.
