Austin, Texas
“There is no other feeling in the world as empowering as overcoming your personal barriers, and I want every young woman and youth to be afforded that opportunity – to take on an immeasurable feat, conquer their fears, and grow from it.”
I'm an aspiring trail runner from Portland, OR, proving that middle age is just the beginning. Five years ago, a neck injury left me wondering if I'd ever hike again - now I'm training for my first 50K. When I'm not trail running, I'm backpacking with a multi-year goal of section hiking the PCT. From 9-5, I work in marketing for a global non-profit, but after hours and on weekends you'll find me on the trails encouraging other women to try hard things.
