Accomplishments
Since October of 2022, I have run six marathons and two half marathons in Colorado, one of which being the renowned Pikes Peak Marathon. I love increasing my endurance while keeping myself in shape.
Hiking, backpacking, running, swimming, biking, playing the guitar
Growing up in Colorado, I've always profoundly loved the outdoors. I've been self-trained and conditioned to the effects of mother nature. Since I was just 14 years old, I've been going on solo backpacking trips for miles into the Colorado backcountry. It is a great passion of mine, and I would love to pursue a profession that explores what I love.
