She brings a commitment of time and energy to support projects that everyone can enjoy throughout Stark Parks.
She visits many parks locations for hiking and running for enjoyment and race training, with her most frequent locations being Sippo Lake Park, Petros Lake Park, and the Towpath Trail. Sippo Lake parkrun, a free 5K that happens every Saturday morning, is her favorite event. When she isn't running the course, she is volunteering somewhere along it!
