I’m a recreational runner, outdoor educator, and experienced gear tester based in Iowa City, Iowa. I have four years of experience helping teach outdoor recreation courses through the University of Iowa, including climbing, hiking, backpacking, and mountain biking. I’ve completed 40+ product reviews through ExpertVoice and enjoy evaluating gear through real-world use. I’m especially passionate about women’s running shoes, footwear comfort, fit, cushioning, durability, and performance. I love sharing detailed, honest feedback that helps other runners find gear that works for them. I’m always excited to discover new brands and put running gear to the test!
