I’m a community-minded individual who loves the outdoors!  Being in nature feels like the place where I belong.  As a runner, I have had a diverse experience.  I started running in elementary school for no particular reason, and I fell in love with it. I ran through middle school and high school, and into part of college, but my career was cut short by a knee injury.  I took a couple of years off, and in 2023, I laced up my sneakers and tried again, this time with a different mentality.  I love running because it requires you to be present and in tune with yourself and your body.  It’s something you can do anywhere, anytime, and it’s a journey that looks different for everyone.  It’s never too late to try and it is always okay to have to try again.  As a running coach, my priorities are gratitude, patience, inspiration, and my own willingness to learn from every person I experience in life.  I look forward to sharing that with others.
