Team: Burke Cross Country


Years Coaching: 6 years (skiing and soccer), First year coaching cross country

Favorite Part: The kids! Enjoying a shared enthusiasm for an activity is great, and seeing the improvement over the course of a season both in that activity and a child’s general self-confidence.


Why Cross Country?: I did many sports when I was younger, and ran track and XC as more of an offshoot from that. Recently, I have been running for fun on the trails and running 5ks. My son has also gotten interested and with me working remotely all fall I was able to do it.


Fun Fact: I competed in the 1996 Alpine skiing world championships. 


Other fun fact. I was born In Beirut Lebanon, and in 1984 was evacuated with my mom and brother by helicopter courtesy of the US Marines! Slept one night on the USS Guadalcanal before being flown to Cyprus.
