athletic life

In 2014, I made the decision to live more aligned with who we were and our passions. As a nutrition scientist, I had one of my passions nailed down: connecting the dots between food and health. But there was also trail running. I had started running trails a few years earlier as an easy way to get out and connect with nature—and I just loved it. So, I started training more intentionally to enter a alpine ultra-trail race in 2015. The beauty and brutality of running long distances over mountains spoke to me, and as it turned out, ultra-trail running became my big adventure.

Growing up, I lived for adventures like free-diving, hiking, and skiing. It was all about the love of nature, artistic expression, friendship, and the great outdoors. When I started running more, focused competition and racing came into the picture. To my big surprise, I really enjoyed it. My drive for racing comes from curiosity; I want to challenge my perceived physical and mental limits.

In 2016, I entered and won my first big international competition, a 100 km mountain race with more than 6000 m of elevation called CCC. Since then, I have competed in some of the greatest and most grueling ultra-trail races in the world. But the biggest mountains I have conquered are the ones within. Ultra-trail has made me more resilient, honest, and grounded in a beautiful way.

I train and race with my heart on my sleeve, and I’m an example that it’s never too late to follow your dreams. I never set out to be an elite athlete; it just happened because I followed my heart and worked hard. I want to empower people to not hold themselves back—you never know where life will take you if you go for it.
