Hi! My name is Emilia and I am a senior at Boston College! I am studying International Relations with a minor in Managing for Social Impact. On campus, I compete for Boston College's Club Synchronized Figure Skating Team and I am President of the Cuban American Student Association. My passion for running began as a way to destress and take some time for myself during my busy day-to-day life in high school. I completed my first half-marathon in my junior year of high school and ever since, I have not been able to stop. Since my first half, I have completed 6 additional halves spanning from my hometown of Washington D.C. to Boston and even one in Geneva, Switzerland while studying abroad. I ran my very first full marathon last November with my aunt and my cousin. Crossing the finish line of the Philadelphia Marathon surrounded by family inspired me to keep running. The opportunity to run the Boston Marathon for a charity that I care deeply about is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I am looking forward to the hard work and dedication of training and fundraising and crossing the finish line with an entire support system of my family, friends, and the rest of Dougie's Team.
