I’ve run my whole life, always in tandem with playing football (soccer). Currently, I am attempting Asia Trail Master’s “Grandmaster Quest” while preparing to run my first 100km ultramarathon.

I have coaching experience with beginner and advanced athletes running distances between 5km and 42km, and I am thrilled about the prospect of helping people run even longer. I am excited to work with people from all walks of life, and I particularly enjoy building connections with people belonging to communities historically excluded from the realm of sports (e.g., members of the LGBT+ community).

As a coach, my core belief is that there is an athlete in every single person. I believe that connecting with our bodies, finding joy in movement, and being proactive about our health is in our nature. However, sports today have become a commodity, and we are wrongly taught to think that only those who belong to a specific category of athlete (spoiler: those who are marketable) are the ones who can "actually" call themselves athletes.

My main goal as a coach is to make sure that regardless of who you are as a person, you know you can be an athlete too. Employing evidence-based methodologies, I seek to support athletes in their running journey and equip them to take the next step in what it holistically represents for them as people. At the heart of my approach are athlete safety and long-term sustainability, inclusivity and equity, and finding pleasure in the journey of sports.
