April Pullins is originally from Chicago, IL. She has also lived in Phoenix, AZ and now resides in Atlanta, GA with her husband and three sons. Previously, April worked as a special educator working with deaf children in K-12 education. In 2014, April left her 15 year career in education to pursue life as an entrepreneur and independent ASL Interpreter.

While living in Arizona, April’s sister in law started running and training for marathons. She was fascinated by the sport and even more so by her sister in laws’ persistence in training through Arizona heat. This planted the seed for the future.

A few years later, during a difficult time in her marriage, April opened her front door and just went for a run. She enjoyed the seeing the beauty around her and the peace of mind running gave her. It was running that carried her through a challenging time. But, after she and her husband worked things out, she put running on the back burner.

Fast forward to the COVID-19 pandemic, a fellow sign language interpreter lost 70 pounds running and working out. It was seeing her friend’s success that encouraged April to hit her stride last year. The timing was perfect as April was also battling depression. It was again through running that April was able to reconnect with herself. To date, April has run a handful of 5k’s and 10K’s and she is currently training for her first half marathon.
