My coaching philosophy is based on what I learned in the classroom, what I learned from my own coaches, and what I have learned through my own years of training. I like to listen to the goals and strengths of my clients, as well as their weaknesses and fears, and adapt my approach to each individual. I also approach training very even-handedly, realizing that most people have a finite amount of time to devote to training, and working to avoid injury, boredom and burnout.

I've been swimming competitively since elementary school, running since high school, and cycling since college, where I earned a certificate in Kinesiology in addition to my BA. After college, I started applying my classroom background by coaching an elementary school track and field team, as well as providing training and nutrition guidance to several cycling teams. Since then, I've been providing personalized training plans and coaching to many first-time endurance athletes.

I'm willing to work with anyone, but I greatly enjoy coaching someone new to endurance sports, and working with them on all of the aspects of preparing for a race, from creating a training plan to the psychological part of race preparation to joining in on daily workouts.
