Specialization as a coach
I love working with athletes who are a little timid and have low expectations, but super dedicated. It's my favorite to see when an athlete starts working with a coach and they just drop time and are shocked by their fitness. I like helping them break past barriers and believe in themselves. I also love coaching the nutrition side of things, especially with athletes who are overcoming eating disorders or disordered eating.

How did you start running
Running has always been a part of my life, but when we moved to Miami just after getting married, it became a healing journey for me. It also has instilled confidence in myself and allowed me to see how far God has taken me in this life: from a young woman who overdosed to an Olympics Trial Qualifier. It's shown me to believe in what seems impossible and never give up hope.
