As a passionate distance runner, I dedicate my free time to pounding the pavement when I’m not engaged in conflict resolution. My running achievements include completing the prestigious Boston Marathon four times and securing several top 100 finishes in San Diego’s half marathons. My journey with the Boston Marathon began in 2011 when I participated as a charity runner for The Hoyt Foundation.

In 2013, I played a key role in establishing Team Hoyt San Diego, a nonprofit organization committed to empowering individuals with disabilities to participate in athletic events such as running races and triathlons. I served as the organization’s President from its inception in 2013 until 2021. Currently, I maintain my involvement with Team Hoyt San Diego as a board member and continue to actively participate in local San Diego races.

My commitment to running and community service continues to be a significant part of my life, complementing my professional work in conflict resolution.
