I am a sports-aholic. I played softball year round in high school, but fell in love with competitive Ultimate Frisbee in college. Played on an all women's team for American University. Now I continued play frisbee with WAFC and in other DC Area Ultimate leagues. I play with the best bunch around, alumni (& friends) from both the men's and women's AU Ultimate teams.

I got into running during grad school. It was the easiest, most efficient way to get in quick workout while I was studying like crazy. It was completely new for me to "go out for a run" - I had always been a team sports player and the lack of points scoring/motivation was hard for me to get used to. I have a history of obesity in my family and as I am getting older and making it harder to lose weight, I am committed to finding healthy and satisfying ways to keep in shape. Entering races and having a goal to work towards keeps my mind on running and keeps me motivated.

I live in Friendship Heights/Tenleytown section of Washington, D.C. and I am a city girl at heart.

I work for the National Park Service.
