Life is an adventure. Live every day to the fullest!

Life is too short to not do what you love. Helping athletes achieve success is one of my passions. Whether that’s through endurance coaching, sports nutrition, or a combination of the two, I’m excited to help you achieve your goals.

For as long as I can remember, I have been an athlete. Swimming, soccer, tennis, softball, skiing, you name it, I did it. Swimming was my main passion, and one that carried me into a Division 1 program at Miami University. While in school, I realized that the field of exercise physiology and nutrition was where I wanted to be. After graduating with a degree in Exercise Physiology/Nutrition, I knew that I wanted to help athletes achieve success. The feeling of watching athletes cross the line in their first sprint triathlon, or hearing “You Are An Ironman” still gives me chills. 

Being able to do what I love while putting my family first is, for me, the key to happiness. I’m so thankful and blessed to have an amazing husband, two adorable sons and one awesome Rhodesian Ridgeback. They make my life full of joy, love and add a bit of craziness. In my spare time you’ll find me racing triathlons, running races (trails are my favorite), open water swimming, cycling, stand up paddle boarding and participating in any adventure race that comes my way. I’m always up for a challenge!
