Coaching Philosophy

I believe in working hard, enjoying the process, and living a balanced life to help you achieve your racing goals and keep running for the rest of your life. As a working millennial dog mom, I know that running is just one piece in the puzzle that defines you. I believe in flexibility, listening to your body, and cross-training to stay healthy and strong, while also challenging yourself to run faster and further than you ever have. If you're looking to run your first race or improve on your PR and let running be the catalyst towards your happiest self (without losing the other parts of your life that spark joy), I may be the coach for you!
