SPECIALTIES

I specialize in beginner to intermediate road/track running. I am experienced with 5k’s-to half marathons.

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy is your race, your pace. I write training plans tailored to fit your running goals and lifestyle. There is no one size fits all plan. We are all different and we do not run for the same reasons. If you are a beginner and do not know where to start or if you’re focused on setting your next PR, I am here to assist you!

COACHING EXPERIENCE

I am a fairly new certified run coach, but I have been running for almost 20 years. I have coached friends over the last three years, and I officially obtained my Certified Run Coach certification in 2024.

I coach adults individually or in a group setting.

ABOUT ME

I am passionate about running and I have been running for almost 20 years. I have maintained my passion for running over the years because running makes me feel great physically and mentally. Also, I enjoy encouraging and help others reach their running goals.

I am very involved in the running community. I am an ambassador for Black Girls Run and we host consistent quarterly and national meetups. I am also a pacer for races in my local area for the half marathon distance.

Outside of running, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I supervise a therapy program for troubled youth and a mobile crisis team at a local healthcare agency. I have three beautiful children, and Jesus Christ is the center of my life.

BIG INFLUENCES

I know people may state well known/famous runners as their big influences, but my biggest influences are the local coaches in my community. The local coaches in my area have been instrumental in mentoring and providing guidance during my running and coaching journey.

RACING HISTORY

The first 5k race I completed was on the Island of Guam in 2008 and that’s an experience I will never forget. I was so proud of myself for completing my first race. Since then, I have raced several 5k’s, 10k’s, half marathons, and two marathons.
