Meet Your Coach
Like many, I first laced up my shoes to change how I looked, not realizing how much it would change how I lived. What started as chasing control and a smaller body ultimately led me to chase a stronger one instead, becoming one of the most powerful tools in my own self-growth.
For years, I strived for perfection. Navigating competition as a Division I and U.S. National Rowing Team coxswain where lightness was prized, I lived by numbers. My worth often felt measurable, tied to splits, calories, pounds, and pace. When I started running, it became another arena where I tried to earn confidence through the same relentless standards I’d always known.
What truly changed things wasn’t walking away from the data, but learning how to use it differently. Don’t get me wrong, I still love numbers: I’m analytical by nature, having minored in statistics at Princeton and currently working as a data scientist. Numbers tell a story and help guide smart training, but they no longer define my value. The real progress happened when I paired metrics with my mindset and trusted my body as much as the plan. I realized that achieving my goals and maximizing my potential meant fueling, building strength and respecting all that my body could do. Feeling powerful felt better than feeling small.
This mindset shift transformed both my running and my life. In just a few years of dedicated training, I’ve raced across every distance from the mile to 5k to an ultramarathon, and completed eight marathons (including a 3:13 PR and 1:30 half). Today, I’m still actively training and reaching for goals that push me in the best ways.
After four seasons pacing with the Bandit Marathon Program, I discovered how much I love helping others pursue their goals, and how meaningful it is to support someone else’s journey. Seeing athletes grow stronger, more confident, and more connected to their running is the best part of what I do.
Through years of training, I’ve known success and I’ve known failure. I’ve overtrained, underfueled, gotten injured, and chased outcomes that left me empty. I’ve also felt the deep satisfaction of a good workout, a new PR, and crossing a finish line. I’m human. I’ve lived the highs and the lows, and that’s exactly why I coach the way I do: data-informed, but human-driven.
I started running for the wrong reasons.
Coaching Philosophy
Today, with everything I’ve learned, I coach runners to unlock their potential through intentional training, fueling, and recovery. I meet athletes where they are, helping them build strength, confidence, and rhythm, and empowering them to go the distance.
My coaching begins with understanding you: your goals, motivations, and what running means in your life. Every athlete is different, and training should reflect that. I care deeply and equally about the physical and mental sides of training.
We’ll train hard and we’ll do it with purpose, with the right balance of effort and recovery to support growth that lasts. I want you to get faster, but I also want you to enjoy getting faster. Together, we’ll use data as a guide, intuition as a guardrails, and build a rhythm that fits your life. And through it all, I’ll be in your corner.
Communication is central to my coaching process. One good piece of perfectionism that I’ve carried with me is that I listen closely and pay attention to the details: how you’re feeling, what you’re saying (and not saying), so I can adjust before stress turns into burnout or an ache becomes an injury. Coaching works best when it’s a conversation, built on trust and vulnerability.
I know growth rarely happens in a straight line. There are seasons of momentum and seasons of rebuilding, days when everything clicks and days when it doesn’t. The real transformation happens in the in-between: when you adapt, stay consistent, and keep showing up. I care as much about how you respond to challenges as how you celebrate wins.
I’m here remind you that progress is still progress – even when it doesn’t look perfect.
