Ever since I can remember I’ve always been an athlete. As a young girl I loved playing manhunt, running through the woods behind our neighborhood, and up and down the soccer field. My favorite memories are of being with my teammates on the field hockey field in high school and college. I can remember feeling a bit lost after my final field hockey season. The sport had been such a huge part of my life for so long, and now I had no trainers or coaches or teammates to rely on for programming or motivation. That spring I got more serious about running and was determined to cross running the Boston Marathon off my bucket list.

After college I worked my way up to the marathon by running several half marathons, 5ks, and eventually 3 full marathons. I loved that runners high! After grad school I got a job as a Speech Language Pathologist and loved working with brain injury patients and young children, but it was never a driving passion. Then I had my son. Fitness Pro
