I began running in 2013 while struggling with depression, and it quickly became a path to healing, growth, and resilience. Through running, I learned how to face setbacks and embrace the process. I’ve since accomplished goals I once thought impossible, including running the Boston Marathon and setting PRs of 17:36 (5K), 1:24:27 (half), and 2:57:16 (marathon). My background in chemistry helps me understand how the body works during training and recovery. I've coached friends and family across distances, and I look forward to guiding and growing with you on this journey.

This journey is about you—the athlete. I’m here to guide, support, and educate, but you’re always in control. My coaching philosophy centers on trust, communication, and empowerment. I believe the best results come when athletes understand the why behind their training. Every workout has a purpose, and I’ll help you see how it fits into your larger goals. My approach is grounded in science, not trends, and I evaluate new methods carefully before using them. I also value the mental side of running—building resilience, confidence, and focus is just as important as physical fitness. Together, we’ll train the body and mind for long-term success.
