I am from Gulfport, MS, lived in Jackson, MS for 9 years, packed everything I owned in 2 suitcases, bought a 1-way plane ticket, and relocated to Arequipa, Peru for almost 5 years. After living my best life abroad, I have made my home in Hattiesburg, MS. I have my undergrad degree in Music/TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) and am finishing my MAT (Master of Arts in Teaching). I started running in January 2013, quickly completed a SuperSprint triathlon, and ran my first marathon January 2014.

I strive to push the limit of ‘I can’t’, to become ‘I will’. I believe able-bodied people are capable of running as far as their heart and mind desire. With MEGAMILES, running will be less of an ‘I have to run’ statement, but instead will become an ‘I get to run’ or an ‘I will run’ statement. I am here to provide you with the mentality shift needed to accomplish your big, scary goals. The question I’m often asked is ‘how do you run so far?’ The answer is simple: I want to, believe I can, and I enjoy the journey to get there. My goal for you is the same: to want it, to believe you can, and to enjoy the journey getting there.
