I joined PPTC during the depths of the pandemic and aspire to be a regular at the Friday SEC run (but also, Fridays are the only days I can truly sleep past the wee hours of the morning.) Since joining PPTC I have served on the Race Committee, starting as a junior RD and then Senior RD, before having the opportunity to serve as an RD on the 2024 and 2023 PPTC Turkey Trot. RD-ing this race is truly a joy and I have appreciated seeing how the enthusiasm of the club spreads to the wider Brooklyn community, and for PPTC to have the opportunity to give back to the park and NYC community partners in a meaningful way. But perhaps my favorite thing is serving under Danielle on the volunteer committee. I am continually inspired by the ways the PPTC community supports each other - either through planned events, discord meetups, speed training or other non-running based ways! I'm eager to join the board to better understand how this tiny administration can support such a vibrant and large club, and use my nonprofit experience, and theater and event-producing skills to continue to think about how the club shows up for its members, Prospect Park, and our community at large.
