Born and raised in Homer, NY, Heather attended Homer H.S. prior to UConn, where she earned a degree in Exercsie Science. A walk-on for the Huskies, Heather dropped her 800m PR by over 10 seconds and 1500m PR by over 35 second en route to two Big East titles and five NCAA All-America Honors, as well as school records in the 800m, 1500m, 4x800m and DMR, which she credits to great coaching and a competitive yet supportive environment. Since graduating and joining the New Jersey New York Track Club, Heather has dropped her 1500m an additional 11 seconds, resulting in being a finalist in the 1500m at the 2013 USA Outdoor Championships and 4th at the 2014 USA 1 Mile Road Championships. In the summer of 2015, Heather became the 60th U.S. woman in history to break the 4:30 barrier in the mile, clocking a 4:29.39. In 2016, despite batttling a hamstring injury she qualified for and compted in the 1500m at the Olympic Trials.  Unfortunately, she suffered a full hamstring avulsion at the Trials that took her out of competition for 2017. Her first return to the track post injury she set an unofficial world record in the Denim Mile.

Heather's competitive nature stays with her when off the track, to the point of having been driven to many impromptu food challenges in college, including but not limited to the gallon challenge, the Capri Sun challenge, and the Crunch Wrap Supreme Challenge. A coffee lover and cereal enthusiast, Heather balances her training and competition time with her job in corporate wellness. When she finds the time to enjoy for herself, Heather enjoys traveling cooking, painting, and drawing.
