About Jenn

I am the head coach of the JMS cross country team and the distance track coach. I started my running journey in 2016 because I wanted to lose weight, but I then became mildly obsessed with the sport. Through running I learned about my inner strength as well as my physical strength. I wanted to become a coach because I love the idea of standing in someone else's corner and showing them the same things I learned and helping them achieve their goals. Especially those that say they are "not a runner". My goal is to inspire others and help them find the freedom that I have found in running.

Coaching Philosophy

Anyone can be a runner, and as a coach I believe it is my calling to help others find that belief in themselves. I want to be the cheerleader that stands next to my clients and encourages them to cross every starting line, but more importantly, every FINISH line that they aim for. Running is a journey, and I would be honored to help you on your journey.
