Where are you from? Corpus Christi, Texas
How long have you lived in the area? 5 years
What are three words your friends would use to describe you? (hopefully) fun, extroverted, and ambitious
Why do you run? It’s the best way to decompress after a long day of looking at a screen and get some sun.
Why did you decide to join the Station Pub Run? Because Steph is the best! But also because I like the social part of the run – it’s much more fun to share a passion with others.
What is your favorite thing about the Station Pub Run? Beer, obvi. (Also, I met my partner at a pub run – and even though we didn’t start at the Station, we still run with the Station!)
Describe the most recent (appropriate 🙂 ) photo you took with your phone: A picture of a friend working on building her tenth cheese and salsa taco during Sunday funday. 😉
What is the best piece of advice you ever received, and who gave it to you? I’ve gotten a lot of unwanted advice about how to be successful in graduate school. But there are a lot of paths to success so you shouldn’t compare yourself to what others have done.
If you could have any talent or skill in the entire world, without needing to practice and money was no limitation, what would it be? Fly a plane – I always wanted to be a pilot
Tell us something about yourself that not many people know: I already gave away the best fun fact that I met my partner at a pub run….but probably that I love the outdoors (especially mountains!). I’m always looking up new hikes to do around my parents’ home in Washington state.
What is something you have done recently, or are about to do, that you are proud of? I presented the first article of my dissertation at a conference in Chicago last week. As of this morning, I am the proud parent of some basil seedlings that I hope make some yummy pesto in the next weeks.
Please share your favorite quote or slogan: “The mountains are calling and I must go."
Anything else you’d like to share with us?! I’m honored to be pub runner of the week. 🙂
