I have coach youth, high school, and a few professionals. During the summer months I would coach young children (4-12) how to water ski, wake surf, and/or wakeboard. During the rest of the months through 2014-2018, I would help my high school coach with managing my cross country and track team. Since 2022 I have been coaching individuals from various sports in plyometrics, speed and endurance.

My biggest accomplishment is running for California university of PA, now known as Pennsylvania University of California. The school is a DII, however we did race others at various levels. Running at CalU was incredible. My senior year I was able to compete as our top women's cross country individual. I had never thought I would get to that level, I am very proud of myself for that. I competed for CalU from 2018-2023, in cross country and track and field. I received national athletic honors all years and shared team awards (race day places, overall team).

After understanding how my athlete operates, I would begin from a base building program if they do not already have one. Assuming they have a base, we would start by doing the warm up which consist of a five minute running warm up, whole body activation movements, and if needed specific problem area activation and stretching. Then we would go into the workout; depending on the day it would range from repeats, tempos, thresholds, long runs, easy runs, or ladders. This would then be followed by a cool down of 10-30 (depending on athlete) easy run then stretching for a minimum of 10 minutes.
