As an avid runner for over 10 years, I have come a long ways in my running journey. I'm a Boston qualifier who has ran 7 marathons and over 10 half marathons. I have over a decade of experience as a food scientist and blend my real-world running experience to craft individual race and nutrition plans to fuel your best performance. With my race experience and knowledge I have first-hand seen how proper training coupled with nutrition can make the biggest difference. Let's work together to optimize your fuel, enhance your training, and achieve your SMART endurance goals!
1. Personalized Approach: I tailor nutrition recommendations and training plans to each athlete's unique needs, goals, and lifestyle. There is no one size fits all.
2. Science-Based Strategies: I will inform you of evidence-based research to optimize performance and recovery. Facts > opinions.
3. Holistic Wellness: I will help you integrate nutrition with overall health, including mental and emotion well-being.
4. Sustainable Habits: Together we'll make sure long-term intuitive eating habits fit into your daily life and support your running success.
5. Continuous Improvement: I welcome everyone to embrace a growth mindset, encourage regular assessments and adjustments for ongoing progress.
6. Empowerment through Education: I equip all my athletes with the knowledge to make informed choices and take control of their nutrition.
