About Me
Hi, I'm Payton Smith, from San Diego CA and a Track & Field athlete currently studying Communications at the University of Michigan. I'm passionate about cooking and love to explore new recipes and techniques in the kitchen. My interests also include entrepreneurship and I'm always looking for ways to innovate and grow. As a foodie, I enjoy trying out different cuisines and sharing my experiences. When I'm not on the track or in the kitchen, you can find me watching reality TV shows or making content! I believe in the importance of self-care and balance, and I often engage in traveling and travel vlogging to share my adventures. I'm also an advocate for women in sports and enjoy participating in tailgating and game-day culture. Connect with me on Instagram, TikTok, X, or Snapchat at Paytonksmith25!
