Why do you run?

 

 I run for my dreams

Describe your best marathon memory.

 

 My best Marathon memory was when I qualified for my First Boston Marathon, the day before the race I had ran a Half Marathon and thought qualifying would be literally impossible because my best time up until then was 20 mins away from qualifying standard, but somehow I pulled through and to this day still have no idea how I did it, but in that race I had a 20 minute PR and Qualified and my times have been getting better ever since!!

Why do you pace?

 

 I pace so people can feel the way I did, when I accomplished something I once thought of as "impossible". 



Why should someone run in your pace group?

 

 I will definetly make it as fun as possible and I am committed 100% to helping you reach your running goals, if you trained correctly, I will Not let you fail!

Any tips for runners about to join your group?

 

 Consider buying a all handheld waterbottle for your next Marathon, My friend told me to do so and it definetly helps for the Florida Races!!!

Anything else you’d like to share?

 To everyone who is trying to achieve a dream: Stay inspired and remember why you started your journey, if you ask any successful athlete, i guarentee NONE of them will say their progress was a straight lime to the top. Their will be obstacles, but those same obstacles will make you GREAT!!

What philanthropic activities do you have?

 

 I love volunteering at The Morikami Park every year for the OBAN festival, and at different hospitals to get some experience in the Medical field.
