I’ve always loved running. Running makes me feel connected to myself and the world, allows me to explore my own physical limits, connects me with lifelong friends, and provides a space for all of my creative ideas. The idea for Run Resiliently was created on the run.

Being a lifelong runner has shaped my ability to being an impactful running PT. My patient conversations are authentic; we experience the same things together. Often, we share the same start and finish line.

I ran collegiately at UC San Diego in XC & track (go Tritons!). I was injured a lot and was never able to reach my fullest potential so I let go of racing short distances for awhile and ventured off into longer distance running.

I ran my first marathon in Portland 2014 and qualified for Boston. Boston in 2016 was meant to be my last marathon. I thought it’d be cool to achieve that once in my life (plus I was moving to NYC for PT school after that). Jokes on me - I have since run 14 marathons and BQ’d in all 13 that I have finished, so yes people do catch the marathon bug. I started with a 3:28 marathon time and at CIM 2025, I’ve brought it down to 2:49 with the help of some really incredible coaches who have guided me along the way (Central Park Track Club 2016-2019, Matt Hensley 2019-2022, Nike Dreamweaver project, and currently Mario Fraioli 2022-present).

I’ve done 5/6 of the WMMJ (all except for Tokyo!) and my all time favorite marathon is CIM for a fast time and NYC marathon for overall best experience. When I’m not marathon training, I race plenty of 5k’s - half marathon.
