Coaches

​

With over 15 years of experience coaching runners of all ages, from energetic 5-year-olds just finding their stride to adults chasing marathon finish lines, I bring a heart-first approach to training that goes beyond just mileage and pace. My coaching journey has included leading youth cross-country teams, empowering young girls through Girls on the Run, and guiding adults through half and full marathon training with the Howard County Striders.

 

As an RRCA-certified coach, I believe that running should be a lifelong joy, not a short-term grind. My philosophy centers on treating both the body and the mind with equal care and attention. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or just trying to stay active and injury-free, my goal is to help you build a sustainable relationship with running, one that supports your well-being on and off the road, track and trail.

 

One of my favorite races is the 26.TRUE Marathon in Boston, a powerful reminder that running is for all bodies. Events like this fuel my passion for creating inclusive, encouraging spaces where every runner feels seen, supported, and celebrated.

 

Let’s run strong, stay grounded, and enjoy the journey.
