Why do you coach?
To me, there isn’t a feeling in the world like the crossing a finish line. Helping someone reach their own finish line is equally as exciting to me! Triathlon has had such a positive impact on my life over the years and coaching is a natural extension of my passion for the sport. The process of working with someone to capitalize on their strengths and identify areas of improvement in order to maximize potential is awesome. Creating a plan that is fluid enough to work around busy family, friends and career schedules can be challenging, but with challenge comes creativity. When all these things come together there is little more satisfying than sharing someone’s athletic success and appreciating how hard they worked to achieve it.

Why do you work for Vision Quest Coaching?
You can’t beat the energy, knowledge, diversity of offerings and leadership at Vision Quest. There is always an opportunity to learn and grow professionally thru continuing education and access to a tremendously talented coaching staff. Robbie has created a “one of a kind” environment that is inclusive of athletes of all levels where everyone has access to the latest in cycling technology and workouts.

Favorite pastime when not training or coaching:
Spending time with my 3 kids and husband and dogs, scuba divng, snowboarding, boating, anything outdoors, reading and cooking (just kidding!)
