I am a Research Exercise Physiologist in the military rehab department. I'm also a dedicated run and strength coach, running my own business and coaching with the Marathon Training Academy. For 3 years, I've mentored aspiring run coaches with Game Changers, promoting diversity in the industry. Beyond work, I cherish family time with my husband, daughter, and three grandchildren.
My coaching philosophy revolves around individualization, recognizing that each person's journey is unique. I prioritize understanding the intricacies of my clients' lives, integrating their work, daily routines, and commitments into tailored training plans. Emphasizing the holistic approach, I address sleep, recovery, nutrition, stress management, hydration, and mental toughness as integral components of performance enhancement. By cultivating a comprehensive understanding of my clients' lifestyles and needs, I empower them to achieve sustainable results while fostering resilience and balance in all aspects of their lives.
