5 Things About Me: Andie Cozzarelli

1. I was born in Ohio but grew up in Apex, NC where I went to high school. While at Apex High I ran cross country and track while also playing club soccer, as well as Varsity soccer, all 4-years.

2. In 2009, I was placed on a gluten-free diet for health concerns from possible celiac disease. Since then I have taught myself how to cook and currently work part time at De’Lure’ Gluten-Free bakery. I am working towards my goal of opening a bakery cafe here in Raleigh. My favorite foods are pizza and guacamole.

3. I attended NC State University where I studied Civil Engineering. While at state I dropped 3 minutes off my 10k time to grant me all-American honors for 2 consecutive years.

4. My greatest running inspiration is my grandfather who was practically a coaching legend in small town Delaware, OH.

5. I love 90’s music and wish I could be on dancing with the stars.
