Castle Rock, COColorado

This is my 4th (I think 😉 year on the Aravaipa Racing Team! I’ve been running since I was 12, though I took about six years off in my 20s to start my family and raise my two sons. Since diving back in around 2017, trail and ultra racing have been my happy place.

My favorite training grounds are the Indian Creek Wilderness near my home in Castle Rock, CO, and the San Juan Mountains where I grew up. I love racing in all kinds of places from the French Alps to the Arizona desert. Honestly, if there’s a great community around a race, you’ll probably find me there.

My go-to piece of gear is a buff. Wear it on your arm to wipe sweat, on your head if you’re cold, wrap it around a leg if you fall, use it as a cooling towel. The possibilities are endless. Outside of running, I’m happiest spending time with my family, listening to music, or watching a good movie. Add in a little clothes shopping or a trip to Target or Trader Joe’s, and I’m golden.

I also have an extremely low running cadence—something that’s both a sneaky advantage and something I’m super self-conscious about (Corinne the Loper). And fun fact: you’ll never catch me without a secret stash of fruity or gummy candies.
