I started in ballet and gymnastics as a child before finding my stride in softball and school sports. During college I focused on music, but later rediscovered athletics through running and weightlifting. What began with a challenging 3K race grew into a passion for endurance sports, leading me from road races to triathlons and four Ironman finishes.I eventually found my true home in ultrarunning, completing numerous 50K, 50-mile, 100K, 100-mile, and even 200+ mile events, including some of the world's toughest races such as the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc, Bigfoot 200, and Tor des Géants. 330km. Along the way, I've also completed major mountain adventures, including fast-packing the John Muir Trail and summiting more than 30 Colorado fourteeners.With more than 40 years of experience in team and individual sports, and over two decades as a licensed mental health professional and mental performance coach, I combine firsthand endurance experience with professional expertise to help athletes strengthen both body and mind to perform at their best.
