I’m a Minneapolis running coach and mom who loves running around the lakes, chasing my son, and sharing my passion for running with others.
My running journey started in high school, but cross-country skiing was my first love until an unfortunate accident with an evergreen tree (don’t worry, the tree is fine). Since my first marathon in 2013, I've been hooked!
I was born and raised in Minnesota. I graduated from Edina High School and have a B.A. in Psychology and Political Science from St. Olaf College and a Master's in Public Policy and Leadership from the University of St. Thomas. My husband Sean and I tied the knot in 2019, just before COVID. Our son Luke joined the team in 2021, and I ran my first postpartum marathon at Boston in 2022.
Running was always a place just for me even before life got crazy. I’ve found that amidst the busyness of life, it’s continued to be space just for me where I can find peace and joy. I also love being able to show my son that he can and should go after his dreams.
Finally, I am passionate about women's health. Overcoming an eating disorder after many years and finding peace with food freedom, and most recently undergoing a double mastectomy, I believe that women's health needs to become more front and center in our everyday conversations.
For the past decade, I've been coaching runners of all levels, and I have a certification from RRCA, and I am a certified Pre, and Postnatal coach.
