My athletic journey started in the pool, with swim lessons at age five. You couldn’t keep me out of the water, which led to swimming competitively for a club team and then for my high school team. In college, I discovered cross-country running and mountain biking in the mountains of North Carolina, but after a few bad crashes on the bike, I focused my attention on using my newfound love for running in local road races. This led to a deeper interest in competition-fueled environments when I moved to Florida, where I discovered the beauty of road cycling on the long oceanside highways, which ideally suited my need for speed. I continued all these activities in socially oriented communities, but in 2014, a friend told me about these unique races that involved all three sports – triathlon. My curiosity was big enough to want to know more and compete in my first triathlon (an all women’s race) in 2016. I ended up on the podium, placing 3rd overall. I was hooked, and this enthusiasm has led me to compete in over 50 different endurance events, including 5k, 10k and half marathon road races, Sprint and Olympic distance triathlons, Duathlons, Ironman 70.3 triathlons, and an all-women’s marathon in 2024 & 2025. My racing performance and commitment to training have garnered invitations to the USAT Age Group National Championships for the last three years. However, giving back to the sports community and paying it forward to the next generation of healthy athletes is also important to me, and I’ve enjoyed coaching middle school track and cross country teams, serving the youth community as a run coach/mentor for Run for a Better Oakland, and volunteering for local endurance events such as the Rio Del Lago 100 Miler and the Miwok 100K.
Philosophy
I believe human beings posess a bottomless well of untapped potential, and I consider it an honor to serve others as a coach, guiding them towards unlocking the phenomenal feeling of accomplishment that comes along with realizing our limitless capacity to perform at the highest levels of possibility.
