marathon runner, avid reader
I love running and I train for marathon's. So far I have run the Los Angeles, 2022 marathon and I just ran the Long Beach marathon of 2023. Running helps me be successful in other areas of my life such as school, work and service. I also very much enjoy reading about different mental health issues people experience so I can broaden my knowledge and help people who need it.
