PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND
Most recently I concluded 7.5 years at Cyclebar, five and a half of those years I served as a highly influential Senior Master Instructor on the Education team.

I've also held key roles in managing corporate wellness programs, collaborating with healthcare providers, and spearheading marketing strategies that maintained high occupancy rates even during economic downturns.
​
In roles such as Corporate Wellness Account Manager and Fitness Program Management, I've successfully helped orchestrate impactful wellness programs for organizations like McLeod Health, Genesis Healthcare, and the City of Charlotte. My hands-on experience includes elevating wellness initiatives, enhancing participation rates, and collaborating with organizations to provide personalized lifestyle coaching and tailored movement programs.

Together, let's embark on a journey towards well-being, where I bring my wealth of experience to help you live your best life through tailored and innovative wellness solutions.
FITNESS BACKGROUND
​
Growing up, I was always active, participating in various sports. Running became my passion, carrying me through high school and two competitive years at the University of South Carolina.
​
In my twenties, I embraced road races and marathons. During my first marathon in Myrtle Beach, my goal was to finish, but unexpectedly, I qualified for Boston. Seven weeks later, I self-coached at Boston and finished in 3:21, boosting my confidence. My personal best was 3:11:41 in the NYC Marathon.
​
Post-2008 Chicago Marathon, injuries challenged me, and doctors suggested giving up long-distance running. Determined to continue, I found a podiatrist, and this led me to the world of triathlons.
Researching, visiting local stores, and diving headfirst into triathlons, I finished my first half Ironman, placing 2nd overall female in 2010. Over the next five years, I became a 2X USA All-American Triathlete, ranked #1 in my age group in South Carolina in 2013, and competed in the 70.3 World Championships in 2014.
After Ironman Arizona in 2015, I decided to shift focus. In 2016, dedicating myself to instructing cycling at Cyclebar, I found a new passion and challenge.
