As a child, I loved two things: running and (like a true American kid) macaroni and cheese. I’m still passionate about both today, but running is my true love. I grew up in Southern California, the ideal climate for an active, outdoor life. Moving away from the daily sunshine to states with steady rain and frozen winters (I’m looking at you, Oregon and Illinois) made it more difficult to run, but that didn’t stop me. Running changes my day for the better; it has changed me for the better. Through running I have learned to challenge myself, gained confidence, and cultivated relationships over a shared passion. Since joining adidas in 2016, I have been able to apply these lessons to my career. As my team and I drive towards a shared goal, I aim to give others what running has given to me: a day changed for the better.
