I’m running the 2026 NYC Marathon—my first 26.2—and I’m proud to do it in support of Reach the World, a nonprofit that expands access to global experiences for students.
My passion for travel started at Ohio State when I studied abroad in Milan—my first time outside the U.S. That experience changed how I see the world and what I believed was possible. Since then, I’ve traveled to 24 countries, many solo, and each experience has shaped how I connect with people and understand different perspectives.
That’s why this mission matters to me.
Reach the World connects students with travelers around the globe who share their experiences, perspectives, and knowledge—bringing global stories to life and inspiring students to think bigger about their own futures.
I’m raising $4,000 to support this work. If travel has ever changed your perspective, I’d love your help in giving more students that same opportunity.
Every donation—big or small—helps bring the world into classrooms and shows students what’s possible.
Thank you so much for being part of this journey 🤍
