Hometown: Mississauga, Ontario (Canada)
Background: I started running quite young and was instantly drawn to middle distance on the track. After high school I took a break from running competitively and transitioned to solo training on the roads. My passion for competing was re-ignited after doing a few 10ks and half marathons in 2019, and I’ve been enjoying setting goals and racing ever since.
