I come from a very close family, my mother and father taught to be loving and considerate of each other and those surrounding us.

But Running is my Love… How I started Running
I started running in 5th Grade it was just a running club after school. We started at ½ a mile and worked up to 5 miles. It was amazing for me it was easy and I found enjoyment in it. So I continued it in to middle school. And from there it became a natural thing that I would do because I liked it. And the competition in it just fuels me even more.

Spent the last few years Training with the older runners from our high & college athletes during the off months.

People who inspired me

Two people who inspired me where my sisters Anastasia & Tatiana, they were always better than me – in just about everything !! So in my mind I had to equal or beat them. And I got older I moved from them to whoever else was better and I kept going from there.

Another person who inspired me was my dad… He was one of the best runners in the state when he ran… His main event was Sprints, especially the (440 yd) 400 meter dash. Which he has taught me all the techniques necessary to Win. One being you need a ‘Special Finishing Kick’ at the end of every race whether it’s for holding someone off or passing someone - with it you will almost never lose.
