Coach. Instructor. Mother.
I am a UESCA certified run coach and a running enthusiast.
In high school, we wrote letters to ourselves and my teacher mailed it to us 5 years later. I opened and read my former self talking about how I had tried to run and hated every second of it. Little did I know that my future self would be reading this letter after completing multiple half and full marathons. Anything is possible with a little hard work!
As a coach, I want to help meet you where you are at and stand beside you to get you to where you want to be. I place a huge emphasis on establishing safe and effective running plans that are uniquely tailored to you.
I believe every runner has a right to a path towards their goals; no matter their pace, no matter their experience. I welcome runners of all levels and abilities.
I danced all growing up but when I went to college I knew I needed something to keep me moving. I took my first step class and was immediately hooked. I fell in love with all forms of fitness classes. I tried out to be a fitness instructor in 2007 and have been teaching ever since. I am Schwinn indoor cycle certified and AFAA Group Fitness certified.
I love creating safe, effective, and unique classes that help people reach their goals and fall in love with movement.
After 15 years as a fitness instructor, I have an understanding of a variety of movement types that can be implemented to help reach your specific goals. From strength building to cross training, I can stand beside you every step of the way.
I am a mom to 4 amazing children and it is my favorite job! I have a 7 year-old, twin 5 year-olds, and a 3 year-old. I am aware of the unique challenge of balancing a training schedule and a family. My goal as a coach is to work specifically with your schedule to train towards your goals.
As a mom, I want to pass down a love for movement to my kids. I want them to see anything worth doing is worth working for. Some of my favorite races are the fun runs I have finished with my kids.
I am currently leading a kid's run club at my children's school to begin a love for running in the heart of kids at a young age.
