Running
When I’m not on my computer
I discovered my love of running while pursuing my undergraduate degree at Clark University, where I joined the varsity cross-country team (NCAA DIII) initially as a way to make new friends. Over the course of my time at Clark, I improved enough that with my remaining eligibility, I was able to compete for the University of Maine (NCAA DI) cross-country and track teams for the first year and a half of my PhD. I am now continuing to train and race alongside my research.
