Professionally, I have a background in math, science, and management, with experience spanning both government and the private sector. Outside of running and strength training, I’m an avid amateur astronomer. I love stargazing and sharing the wonders of space with the public through my involvement in various astronomy organizations. Inspiring others to look up and explore the cosmos is just as fulfilling to me as helping runners achieve their goals.
I believe in a holistic, balanced approach to running and coaching. Life is stressful enough—running should be a source of joy and empowerment, not added pressure. My goal is to help runners achieve their personal milestones sustainably, whether it's completing their first 5K or setting a new marathon PR.
My coaching philosophy centers on the runner and the unique demands and priorities of their life. I aim to redefine limits, boost confidence, and unlock potential. Running is more than a sport—it’s a journey of discovery, and I’m passionate about guiding you to find fulfillment in every step.
