I live in Seattle with my dog Pup (I know it's a silly name!) and started running in 2019. I've raced distances from half-marathon up to 100 milers! While racing is a big part of my running, I really enjoy mountain adventures and schedule as many as possible throughout the mountain running season. I coach full-time and dedicate that time to help my athletes reach their running goals. When not running you can find me reading, spending time with friends, and attending local theater productions.

I believe for coaching to be successful there must be mutual respect and trust between the athlete and the coach. I hope to earn your trust through sharing not only the day-to-day training needs but the long-term strategy and how it all works together to help you reach your goals – whether it’s hitting a PR or being able to run for decades to come. My coaching philosophy isn’t about telling you what to do, it’s about helping you understand the reasoning for why I’m recommending what I’m recommending.

My approach to coaching is to keep the athlete, their personality, and their goals as the focus. We will work together to find ways to incorporate training into your already busy life to balance training that works for you and your goals. I believe training must be individualized for each athlete.
