Background:

My fascination with training and competition began when I was 8 years old and joined a youth track and field club as a summer activity. I quickly realized that I wasn’t the fastest kid on the track, but I was determined to learn as much as I could about the sport and work harder than anyone else. This attitude of dedication and perseverance would eventually lead to multiple USATF Junior and World competitions, 12 Utah high school state champion titles, a NCAA Division I Scholarship, 7 Big West Conference Champion titles, a NCAA National appearance, and a Masters Degree in Exercise Physiology.

When my track and field career came to an end, I started mountain biking as a recreational rider. It didn’t take long for the hunger of competition and training to take hold. So in 2004, I bought a road bike, a power meter, found a coach, and entered the exciting world of training and racing with POWER. I have been hooked ever since! I have raced several local mountain bike, road, and cyclocross races, and have made two appearances at USA Masters Nationals placing 3rd and 4th in the criterion and road race events.

In my other life, I am the Director of Athletic Republic Logan- a sports specific speed, power, and agility performance training center at Loan Regional Hospital. I oversee training protocols for 1,000+ athletes a year, focusing on running mechanics, strength training, and sport specific preparation. I have worked with athletes of all ages and abilities, including Jarrett Bush of the Green Bay Packers and NFL Super Bowl Champion 2011, 6 Olympic athletes, over 100 NCAA I Div. top performers in track and field, football, gymnastics, and soccer, and countless high school and regional champions. I also teach the Fitness Assessment and Program Development class at Utah State University to undergraduate students. In a nutshell, it is fair to say that I have surrounded myself with coaching, athlete development, and athletics. I love coaching. I love guiding athletes to discover their inner strength and power to become the best athlete they can.

My husband and I have two beautiful daughters age six and one. As a family, we enjoy activities such as snow skiing, cycling, boating, and off-road jeeping.

Coaching Philosophy:

My philosophy on coaching can be summed up as this…Provide the support, knowledge, technology, flexibility and quality needed to help each athlete reach their goal. I commit myself to each athlete and enjoy celebrating their successes. I feel strongly about high quality, purposeful training. If you are going to commit yourself to train, train with a purpose, train with passion, and train to have fun!
