Sole sis Melissa and I co-captained one of the aid stations for the 2021 California International Marathon! My awesome Bible study sisters rallied and help me make 60ish flannel scarves for the volunteers. It was an insane and intense day; but we rocked it out and decided to re-commit for 2022!

The boys and I volunteer for a local youth drug and alcohol education organization. Together, we do behind the scenes marketing material prep, and then volunteer at the local festival booths. I also catered their last two professional events. The first one was a breakfast and lunch strategy meeting for about 12-15 people. This last […]

As a runner, it’s important to not only receive, but to also give back to the running community. I love volunteering at the aid stations for ultra marathons. These are trail races that range from 50-100 miles in distance. I volunteered for this year’s Folsom Lake Ultra Trail race (F.L.U.T.) I did two shifts (12 […]
