Why Mount Holyoke?: I chose Mount Holyoke because of the community. I've been able to make so many amazing connections here that have challenged me, supported me and helped me become the person I'm proud to be today. My friends, teammates, coaches and professors are so important to me and I'm so grateful for every one of them.

Favorite Pre-Competition Snack or Meal: I start the day off with a bowl of oatmeal and banana, and then right before the race I like sugary, easy-to-digest things like fruit snacks! I've also recently gotten into drinking Electrolyte drinks like Pedialyte to refuel.
