“My coaching approach utilizes current, science-based training theory in combination with the belief that individualized, sustainable training practices are essential for longevity in running and life. As a working mom and athlete myself, I am especially passionate about helping busy athletes optimize training time and maintain consistency while striking a healthy work-life-training balance. This multifactorial lens allows for short-term results and performance gains as well as long-term goal achievement, health, and joy.”

My childhood of competing at a high level in competitive cheerleading and floor tumbling were formative for helping me learn discipline, drive, and athleticism. I began running as a teenager, initially as a way to stay in shape, which quickly morphed into my biggest passion. Running did not come naturally to me in those early years and while I had the motivation, I had to work extremely hard to fight off constant injury. It became my mission to read, learn, and put into practice as much as I possibly could about how to run and train methodically and sustainably. During my college-aged years, I spent several seasons thru-hiking long trails which contributed immensely to my development of aerobic fitness, endurance and musculoskeletal durability, as well as practical trail skills.

Eventually my years of relentless hard work and commitment paid off and I was gradually able to run faster, longer, and injury-free. My hunger to learn about the body, training methodology, and exercise science only increased, which led me to begin coaching in 2017 and earning a BS in Exercise Science as an adult. It is a top priority to learn throughout my lifetime and continually improve as a coach, thus I seek educational opportunities including reading materials, courses and certifications on an ongoing basis.

As a working mom, I know what is required to balance life and athleticism. As someone who’s journey led me from being a chronically injured, back-of-the-pack 5k’er to completing 20+ ultramarathons including multiple podium finishes, I have a deep understanding of what it takes to work your way from the ground up and put in relentless time and dedication to achieve big goals. I believe that with hard work, a long-term vision and believe in yourself, dreams can come true. It is my passion and joy to help as many people as possible find their own version of success in running.
