Everything You Should Know

---

My love of running has steadily grown throughout my adult years. I ran my first marathon in 2017 (Chicago) and was blown away by the atmosphere and crowd support. Never in my life had I experienced a more beautiful and inspiring day.

In 2020, I was struggling with anxiety and depression. This was the most difficult season of life I'd ever experienced and I had no idea how to overcome it. It was in this season that I started daydreaming about the joys of the Chicago Marathon.

Inspired by the memories, I slowly started cranking out training miles. The more miles I ran, the less anxiety I had and the easier it became for me to clear the mental clutter of life. 

In 2021 I ran my first ultra marathon and was absolutely hooked. I knew I had found something special.. Not just because of the amazing feeling of accomplishment but because I had found a community filled with amazing humans from all different backgrounds. 

Since becoming an ultramarathoner, I’ve completed 14 ultras. 

I became a certified running coach (2022) out of gratitude for the sport and a desire to help others find and pursue the incredible adventures only trail and ultra running can provide.

My life has been changed by it and I’m so thankful to be a member of the amazing community.

It is my goal as a coach to help runners of all ages, backgrounds and abilities find and navigate their own journeys – pushing themselves to places they’ve never been – both physically and mentally.

Whether your goal is running your first 5k, a 100 mile PR or taking on a 200+ miler, I’m here to help! I take joy in empowering my athletes to dig deeper than they ever dreamed possible and subsequently watching them crush their fitness goals!

Let’s work together to create YOUR beautiful story of perseverance, growth and success. 

Enjoy the journey!
