When I started my running career, I looked up to Emma Coburn. I always wanted to be like her, so being her training partner, and training alongside her and Gabbi Jennings is such a blessing.

I want to be the next Emma Coburn for the next generation of athletes, so I'm just trying to be the best version of myself by doing everything in a smart and healthy way.
