Her coaching philosophy centers on leading through experience, preparation, and a positive mindset, while supporting athletes as they work toward their goals. She enjoys watching athletes grow both on and off the track and values the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in their lives. Outside of coaching, she enjoys arts and crafts, Pilates, and dreams of one day living on a farm.
