Growing up I was involved in sports, but the school I attended was not large enough to have a track team. It was not until I was 24 years old, when I went on a trail run/hike with my Uncle and then fell in love with the sport. Running to me is more than running, it provides me the opportunity to push myself beyond physical boundaries I never thought possible. It also serves as my release from the outside world when I just want to unplug and enjoy the simple pleasures that this earth has given to us.

Running has become an integral part of my household as I have two daughters that run both Track and Cross-Country for Huron. I am excited to share this part of their life journey with them and hope to instill this type of excitement with all of our runners. 

I have ran distances from 1500m -60K and I am a three time Boston Marathon qualifier. This will be my 4th year coaching with Huron Athletics. Before coaching at Huron, I have created many running plans for those just beginning to run to seasoned distance runners. I am a former elementary school teacher and currently still educate adults in my current job. I say this because as a lifelong educator, I enjoy teaching and coaching those to be their better self.
