About Me

My journey to run coaching

I started running consistently in 2018 after moving to Edmonton, Alberta, and quickly developed a deep connection to the sport. My coaching journey began with a passion for helping athletes discover their strengths and embrace their unique selves. With over ten years of experience in Social Work and case management, I transitioned into leadership roles that have shaped the foundation of my run coaching approach. Moving into the athletic sphere felt like a natural evolution, allowing me to apply my skills in mentorship, organization, and resourcefulness to support my athletes effectively.

I believe that a runner who shines from within has truly unlocked potential. My interest in sports psychology drives my desire to transform the running experience by exploring how to better listen to our minds and bodies. By fostering this deeper connection with ourselves, we can ultimately enhance our relationship with the sport.
