A quotation you like…


We’ll get to the finish line one mile at a time

Why do you run?


I do my best thinking on a run, and when I finish running I have a clear mind and happy attitude. What a privilege to have a body that can run!

Describe your best marathon memory.


The first race I ever ran was at age 15, with my dad, the Lehigh Parkway half marathon. I began pacing that exact half marathon 20 years later! 

Why do you pace?

As a personal trainer, I love to coach, motivate, and inspire others. Pacing combines my love of running and coaching. I prefer pacing than racing solo!




Tell us your best pacing experience.


  My very first pace experience was 1 year after my daughter was born. I nailed every mile perfectly and felt so proud. When I crossed the finish line, many runners said watching my pace flag carried them to the finish. It inspires me to continue pacing!  

Why should someone run in your pace group?

Run with me if you want positive energy and a steady pace. Whether your goal is to beat me, or catch me, I’m here for you!

Any tips for runners about to join your group?


Give space to all runners around you. Gaze toward the ground often to check your footing. Sometimes running in a group can be distracting and you don’t want to misstep. Also… NO snot rockets in my group!

Anything else you’d like to share?


Once you get to the start line, the hardest part of the race is over- the training. The race is the celebration of all your hard training! 

What philanthropic activities do you have?


Volunteering at my church and in my kids’ community
