Minnesota born.
North Carolina home.

Her biggest role now is at home, with her husband, Phil Stringer, their kids and Mister, her rescue dog. She has a love-hate relationship with running and a love-love relationship with food. On a day off, you'll find her on a trail, trying a new local restaurant, or out on a paddleboard.
