About Me

Empowered by the Run: A Journey of Resilience, Growth, and Paying It Forward

I started running as a hobby in my adulthood and eventually ran my first marathon in three hours and twelve minutes. I was determined to train regularly, push through the pain, and focus on gradual progress. With dedication and hard work, I became a world-class runner.

I've had highs and lows in running from 2017 to now. I placed 6th at the 2019 IAAF World Championships but DNF'd the 2020 Olympic Trials. Learning from both, I believe in living in the present as a runner and coach. I started coaching in 2021 during the pandemic to give back to the sport.

From Runner to Coach: Embracing Growth Through Personal Experience and Mentorship

I started coaching runners both locally and online. Then, in 2022, I was given the opportunity to become the Roads Coach for the Central Park Track Club - Tracksmith. Over the last two years, I have gained valuable experience as an athlete and coach from this opportunity, which has helped me learn and grow.

Through self-coached, group and world-class coaching, I have gained a deep understanding of physical and mental training, resulting in my successful running performances.

Rediscovering running later in life transformed me, not only as an athlete but also as a person, nurturing resilience, determination, and self-discovery.
