She’s done numerous races, ran four marathons (Boston, New York, London and Chicago), and has completed a century ride. She’s an advocate for Women, a Community Leader, and Organizer. Her passions span beyond running/ cycling miles; she is on a mission to create safe and accessible spaces for women.
