Beyond my research…
I run competitively as a member of the Battle Road Track Club, a New Balance-sponsored post-collegiate racing team. Recently, I won the Army Ten-Miler! Some other race highlights include a 1:15:24 half marathon (5:45/mile pace), 56:44 10-miler (5:40/mile pace), and 16:40 5k (5:21/mile pace).
I volunteer with the Missionaries of Charity—the group of nuns founded by Mother Teresa of Calcutta—on a weekly basis to continue her mission of love. My service includes supporting their women's shelter, participating in street outreach, and assisting with their children's programs. This year, thanks to the generosity of some kind benefactors, it also included taking their summer camp to Canobie Lake (see picture of Sr. Tanya and me on the spinning teacups).
