How did you become interested in the sport of running?

I started running as a form of cross training when I was a competitive swimmer. After I stopped swimming , I stuck with running because it’s cheap exercise and you can do it anywhere! That was over a decade ago and now I’m addicted!

What neighborhood in SF or city do you live?

Inner Richmond! We have the best farmer’s market 😉

What is your real life job?

I’m an apparel designer for women’s activewear at Old Navy

What is your favorite race distance and run type (road/trail) and why?

I’ve grown to love half marathons! It’s short enough that you’re working pretty hard the whole time but long enough that you can have a solid thought session. I’m partial to road but am open to explore more trail with all the options the Bay Area has.

What race, if any, are you training for?

I just finished my 10th half! Looking to race another half this year and potentially my first full marathon next year!

What is your favorite part about Run Club?

The people! Everyone is so nice and welcoming and you can really feel the camaraderie. It’s like having your own support and fan group all in one!

Besides running, do you have any other hobbies?

I love to upcycle clothes I get from the thrift store!

Do you have any pets – what is/are their name(s) and what type(s) of animals?

I have one very cute senior dog named Pico!
