About Me

My name is Courtney. I am a 21 year old college student just living the dream. I go to school at UNCW in Wilmington, North Carolina and I just love it! I am from Ohio, but have no plans of ever going back. (Unless it is to visit my parents) I became very passionate about running 2 years ago. My parents were visiting me in Wilmington and I heard about the Disney Princess Half Marathon. I mentioned to my mom how I wanted to run it, and she said it was always something she wanted to cross off her bucket list. I knew right then and there that I had her on board! Last February we both ran our first Half Marathon and our love for running has kept growing!

I am currently majoring in Psychology and minoring in Biology. Everyone has been asking me what I want to do after I graduate, and I honestly could not give them an answer- I REALLY DIDN'T KNOW! Instead of graduating on time, and not being able to find a job I decided to pursue what I am most passionate about, teaching. I added on an elementary education major which also added on a couple years to my schooling. Thank you dad :) I could not be more excited to teach!

I am currently a coach for the Girls on the Run and STRIDE organizations and I love it so much. These kids make me so happy, and I love that it combines my two passions of teaching and running!

I'm just your typical college girl having fun and working hard!

Oh and I really, really, really LOVE cupcakes!
