Since I had any knowledge to share, I’ve been passionate about helping others find their personal success in swimming, cycling, running, or triathlon. From the moment I was introduced to this sport, I have loved it and the accompanying lifestyle. In the early 2000’s I led a local women’s ride to help teach other women how to safely ride in a group while building confidence and endurance. I loved being able to share my experiences and witness those ladies build courage and strength while creating lasting friendships.
In 2007 I was diagnosed with a back condition that, at the time, was unmanageable. The hard training became too much and I backed off of triathlon and focused on work that paid the bills. Since then I have ‘dabbled’ in the sport but stopped coaching or participating in group training. My involvement in the sport since then has been minimal.
After spending 2018 away from my family chasing a career path that paid the bills, I decided I wanted a relationship with my first love again… triathlon. It’s been a little bit of a bumpy road this year (more on those details another day), but I recently completed what I hope to be the first step of a rewarding journey. I finally became a Level I USAT Certified Triathlon Coach! I’m so excited to get started helping others live their best athletic life!
