Appearance on The Ali on the Run Show
In April 2020, I had the honour of appearing on an episode of the podcast, “The Ali on the Run Show.” The episode was part of the “On the Job” series, in which female runners shared their experiences working in unique career fields. I was thrilled to be a part of a show that I love so much, and in a series which combines two of my greatest passions: archaeology and running!
