When did you start and how did you come to work at such a fine establishment?

I started working at The Running Store in April of 2018.

What current sock, shoe, and insole setup keeps your little piggies happy?

My favorite foot set-up, whether running or walking, is the Altra Torin/NB More with a pair of Aetrex insoles and Injinji toe socks!

Where are you from?

I grew up in the Gainesville/Bristow area, attended Roanoke College for undergrad, and am now attending the University of Lynchburg to become a physical therapist.

Give us just one of your many favorite TRS customer experiences.

My favorite customer experience was when a husband and wife came into the store for the first time. They were browsing, and I helped them through the process of getting fitted. I scanned their feet and showed them the weak points of their arches, and I helped them find their perfect pair of shoes, which happened to be HOKA!

What do you do when you're not living the TRS dream?

If you see me outside of TRS, it is likely in the clinic or on a run! In my downtime, I run, read, and I enjoy relaxing at home with my family, friends, and dogs.
