The Early Days
3:57 mile, 3:37 1500m, 4x NCAA All-American.

The Setback
Chronic health issues forced me to hang up my spikes in my mid 20’s, just when I was hitting my stride.

The Comeback
After a decade of trial and error, I’ve finally cracked the code - and I feel better than ever. Now I’m training to make the 2028 Olympic Trials Marathon.

My Mission Now
I want to coach you to peak performance, both in running and in life. Whether you’re aiming for a new personal best or a breakthrough in your overall health, I will help you run faster and live fuller.

Why Work With Me?
I’ve taken the grit, discipline, and evidence-based strategies of an elite runner and merged them with the lessons learned from years of health setbacks. My coaching approach focuses not only on speed gains, but also on sustainable training, nutrition, and overall health - so you can thrive long-term in your running and your life.
