Get To Know Me

At the end of 2023, I took a leap of faith by stepping away from a 20-year career as a Vice President of Operations leading a team of 50 to follow my heart (and my feet) into the running world. What began as a personal passion many years ago, evolved into a calling: to help others discover their potential through the sport that has shaped so much of my own life.

For two decades, I balanced full-time work, marathon training, and family life—learning firsthand the value of structure, adaptability, and purpose. Throughout that time, I discovered my greatest fulfillment came from mentoring others, by guiding my employees toward their professional goals and celebrating their success. Now, as a running coach, I bring that same commitment to developing athletes, helping runners of all levels achieve their goals with confidence, education, and joy.

My mission is to elevate the running community by empowering athletes to not only train smarter but understand the “why” behind their training, nutrition, and recovery. Coaching, to me, is about more than miles. it’s about building knowledge, balance, and belief in what’s possible.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your running journey, I’m here to guide you every stride of the way. Let’s go!
