I'm a UESCA-certified Ultra Running Coach with a strong foundation in endurance, strength, and mindset. With 4.5 years of ultrarunning experience and a lifelong passion for fitness, I believe the mental side of training is just as important as the physical. I'm supportive, consistent, and committed to helping runners—new or experienced—build confidence, stay motivated, and reach their goals with purpose and grit.
My coaching philosophy is centered around consistency, individuality, and long-term growth. Every runner is unique, so I create personalized training plans that align with your goals, lifestyle, and current fitness. I believe in building a strong foundation, listening to your body, and training with intention—not just volume. As a coach, I'm here to support your journey with encouragement, accountability, and evidence-based strategies. Whether you're new to ultras or chasing your next big finish, I’ll help you stay mentally strong, physically prepared, and motivated every step of the way. Together, we’ll celebrate the process, not just the outcome—because growth happens in every mile.
