I’m a Florida Native with Honduran roots. My running journey started as a walk-on cross-country runner at the University of South Florida. What began with no running experience quickly became a lifelong passion. Since then, I’ve run the Chicago and New York City Marathons, completed lululemon's Yoga Leadership Teacher Training in 2019, and became a certified RRCA Run Coach in 2023. My next goal is to return to the Chicago Marathon on October 2027 and chase a Boston Marathon qualifying time.
Over the years, life has brought its share of ups and downs—including multiple auto accidents, knee surgeries, the loss of my dad, and having two babies. I know what it’s like to start over, rebuild strength, and be patient with the process. No matter the season of life, I don’t rely on my own strength, but on the strength God provides. His faithfulness has carried me through every valley and every victory. My confidence in Him gives me the courage to lace up my sneakers, take the next step, and run the race He has called me to with purpose and perseverance.
As a SAHM mom of two, I know how hard it can be to prioritize exercise & a healthy lifestyle while raising a family. That’s why I started The FAM Run Club—a place where parents can run together, kids can come along for the adventure, and families can build community together.
Because the family that runs together,
has fun together.
safety first

we prioritize safety, inclusivity, and respect.
Everyone is welcome, but we also believe in creating a safe and positive environment where all members can move comfortably and confidently.
Stroller Etiquette
Strollers are always welcome! We simply ask that stroller runners stay mindful of spacing and avoid blocking the full path so everyone can move safely.
Pace Inclusivity
All paces are welcome, whether you’re walking, jogging, or training for your next race.

Please stay aware of your surroundings. Follow traffic signs, be aware of pedestrians, cyclists, and shared public spaces along the route.

We’re here to support one another and create a welcoming environment
for everyone.
