TCS NYC Marathon Team

"I'm a marketer by profession and an artist and performer at heart. A self-proclaimed "theatre kid" who never did anything athletic until after my kids were born, I've wanted to run this marathon since I began running at the age of 35. I'm proud to support efforts to protect birds and green spaces in the US and Canada."

"I'm an avid runner, and I'm excited for the chance to run in the energy of NYC. I especially like having a race goal that means more than just a finishing time. I want my two-year old to grow up with a planet that still has its natural beauty, and running for a cause adds a different kind of motivation to the miles."

“I first connected with TPF through the California Condor program, where I’ve now volunteered for the past eight years. I’ve also come to appreciate the breadth of TPF's programs around the world. This will be my first race in 23 years, and it’s definitely going to be a challenge. Thank you for your support!”

“I’m a sustainability professional living in NYC with roots in environmental science. I’ve learned that both distance running and environmental protection require the same thing: long-term discipline and a commitment to the ‘long game.’ We have a responsibility to maintain a world where these birds and their habitats aren’t just surviving, but thriving.”

“Running the TCS NYC Marathon has always been a bucket list item for me, and I'm thrilled to be representing an organization that supports a cause I care about so deeply. I have always been a lover of all animals, and birds of prey are a particular favorite of mine. I feel so fortunate to be able to run the marathon and support conservation at the same time.”

“I grew up on California’s Central Coast, and one of my favorite pastimes is watching California Condors soar along the Big Sur coast and in Pinnacles National Park. It means so much to me to help ensure that future generations can continue to see them thriving in their natural habitat. I am truly honored to be part of the TPF team.”

“I work in solar project development, and the values of sustainability and environmental conservation are very near and dear to my heart. In particular, a deep love of nature drove me towards working in this field. I’m very stoked to be running with TPF, and to accomplish a lifelong goal of completing a marathon after running in a handful of shorter races.”

“Growing up in California with constant droughts and wildfires, I was taught from a young age that conservation was essential for long-term sustenance. I truly feel honored to run this year’s TCS NYC Marathon with TPF, and hope to not only make a positive impact on vulnerable habitats and species, but to inspire others as well.”

“I grew up watching Red-tailed Hawks soar above my childhood home, and now watch Peregrine Falcons hunting pigeons from my building’s roof. These birds inspire us with their presence, and remind us how to live alongside nature. The TCS NYC Marathon is a perfect opportunity to support the city I love and the conservation efforts I care about.”
