Our Philosophy

My coaching philosophy is built around the principals that have made me the athlete that I am today. Through continuous communication, honest feedback, realistic goals, and hard work, I can help you reach YOUR peak performance.

After surviving melanoma at age 27, I made several realizations about my life. The one quote that resides within me is to "live the life you love, love the life you live." Through this mantra, I try to focus on remaining in the present and to enjoy what is happening now.

My first triathlon, Tri Girl in August of 2008, occurred just after I had completed my treatment consisting of several surgeries for the removal and reconstruction of my finger. I had a friend that had competed and I knew if she could do it, I could do it better!

In 2010, I started working as a group fitness instructor and leading group triathlon workouts at the YMCA. As I grew as an instructor, I was given the task of leading the Houston Kids Triathlon team and the Summer Youth Triathlon Team. Continuing on this path, I became a USA Triathlon Certified Coach and NASM Certified Personal Trainer.

I look forward to sharing my brutal honesty, love of the sport, balance of family/work/fitness, and pride in accomplishment from watching my athletes reach their goals.
