About me

IMG_8141
My journey to a Kona Qualification was one of the best learning experiences of my life. It was heart breaking, fulfilling and humbling.

I am a lifelong runner turned triathlete.

I’m a little bit sassy, and a whole lot friendly.

I love training and racing endurance events so much. I have welled up with so much emotion that it makes me weepy with joy sometimes. Okay, maybe a lot of times.

I’m all in with endurance sport. It’s my lifestyle. I left the hobby stage several years ago. I’m pretty much one-track that way.

Into results? Here’s my Athlinks profile.

Training is the engine that powers my life. I have learned to challenge myself, to push beyond my comfort zone, to rise to the adventure, and to relish the suffer. I’ve become more powerful than I ever thought I had a right to be.

I have learned much about myself and others through this endurance lifestyle. I have experienced many extraordinary moments, and I have come to appreciate my body for the amazing machine that it is.

I used to suffer from eating disorders, and I still struggle with poor body image. Endurance sport has helped me move past many of those feelings.

From left: My father-in-law John, my mother-in-law Jeanne (who made the awesome signs!), sister-in-law Tracy, brother Johnny, nephew Jake, husband John, and ham-it-up me!

I am a USAT Certified coach, and along with my husband John, we run No Limits Endurance Coaching. Coaching other athletes has brought a fresh and exciting perspective to my training. Our athletes inspire me every day and have enriched my life in all of the ways! I <3 all of you!

I am an associate professor of Communication Studies at Rowan University in Glassboro, NJ. I learn from my students every day, and they make my job worth doing.

I am committed to volunteering and engaging in the political process. I believe we must work together to create a society in which social justice prevails.
