I am currently the head coach for Big Timber Running Club - if you live in Eugene and are looking for a great running community: check out the Big Timber Website. We meet Tuesday evenings and Saturdays to train together.

In 2020, while a thriving and extremely health conscious athlete, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent chemotherapy and radiation. I ran and lifted weights every day during my treatment. I have had to adjust some of my personal athletic goals, but along the way I also learned a great deal about adapting training loads, modalities, and recovery times for aging athletes and for those dealing with hormonal fluctuations related to the aging process.
