How RunStrong impacted my life
Kimberly participated in RunStrong while attending McFadden Intermediate School. She enjoyed the program so much that she decided to form her own running club at Segerstorm High School and KAMSF sponsored her team. Kimberly shared that being a part of RunStrong inspired and motivated her to live a healthy lifestyle. As a result, she has participated in multiple 5ks, 10ks, as well as a half marathons. Her hard work, consistency and determination led her to compete in a full marathon in 2018 and an Olympic triathlon in 2022! Kimberly continues to live an active life which has been a tool to help her balance academic and professional stress. Her future goal is to complete a half Ironman competition. She is currently an Attorney at Springel & Fink, a construction litigation firm in Newport Beach, California.
