I am an ultra-endurance athlete, born and raised in Los Angeles, California. Running is relatively new to my life—I started my journey with a quarter-mile run in 2018. Eventually, the ability to push my limits while giving back to the community drew me to the world of ultra-endurance. Since 2021, I have specialized in multi-day, self-sufficient stage races.

My favorite place in the world is Nepal. I trekked to base camp and participated in the inaugural Extreme Ultra 70 km foot-race, both in 2023. Experiencing the Himalayas in different ways was a life-changing experience I will never forget. Nepal is also home to some of the kindest people I’ve ever met.
I enjoy watching NBA basketball, writing, traveling, and playing video games when I have the time.
My bucket list is so extensive that it's hard to pinpoint just one thing. If I had to choose, it would be to participate in a race in the deserts of North Africa. I want to meet people from around the world through different races and experience diverse cultures and perspectives.
Never stop learning and don’t give up. It’s never too late to pivot in life. If something sets your soul on fire, you will find a way.
