Ask Me About:
• Running: As a short-distance runner in high school, I’ve always loved running/sprint intervals as my favorite form of cardio! I try to get in at least 6 miles a week, and I love to run before I weight lift. Need tips or a jogging buddy? I’m available!
• Gospel Choir: I enjoy singing (usually soprano) on Rice’s Psalm Birds! I’d love to share my experiences and favorite songs with you!
