This year marks a major personal milestone for me—10 years of calling New York City home. Over the past decade, this city has challenged me, shaped me, and given me countless opportunities to grow both personally and professionally. What better way to celebrate that journey than by crossing a true bucket‑list item off in the city that’s given me so much: running the New York City Marathon. I’m incredibly proud to be running this year in support of Junior Achievement, an organization whose mission I deeply believe in. Through attending JA events over the years, I’ve seen firsthand the impact they have on young people—empowering students with financial literacy, career readiness, and entrepreneurial skills that set them up for lifelong success. Education and opportunity change lives, and JA delivers both in a meaningful and practical way. Every mile I run and every dollar raised will go toward helping prepare the next generation to succeed in an ever‑changing world. Thank you for supporting me on this journey—your generosity helps turn this marathon into something much bigger than just a race.
