I grew up in the Shelburne Falls area (Buckland, MA). I was diagnosed with autism when I was 4 years old. I first started running as a 7th grader on the cross country team at Mohawk Trail Regional High School. I was very dedicated in both cross country and track during my time at Mohawk and was recognized for my acheivements. I ran my first marathon at age 29 at the 2019 Clarence de Mar marathon in Keene, NH in under 5 hrs. I have ran 4 other marathons since then. Running has been a big part of my life and has helped me overcome the challenges of autism and other life events I have faced. In October 2023, I married a sweet wonderful man named Rowan who is also on the spectrum. We have been together for 7 years. He is very supportive of what I do. I currently live in Amherst, MA and work part time at Salvation Army in Hadley, MA.

I am honored to have been accepted into the 2025 Boston Marathon through the Adaptive Program sponsored by the Doug Flutie Foundation. Please donate to help people with autism live life to the fullest. Any amount helps. I am fundraising as part of Dougie's Team to express my gratitude for helping me acheive my dream of running the Boston Marathon.
