I started running recreationally in college with some friends as an affordable way to exercise. After my first 5k in 2011, I was hooked. Since then, I kept pounding the pavement, entering races from 5ks to marathons.My coach saw the potential in me to coach others, so I started to volunteer coach at a local running store. I loved helping others reach their goals so I decided to become certified! love meeting up with anyone at any pace for a run and of course I just love talking about running.
Becoming a runner as an adult instead of growing up in track or cross country allows me to relate to adult runners who are new to the sport and might feel intimidated. I will meet you where you are because I was likely there too. Not only do I love the sport, but I love working with athletes and helping them become the best version of themselves. I believe communication is one of the most important aspects of the coach/athlete relationship and will check in frequently to see how things are going.
