How would you describe your coaching style? 
My coaching style is based on teamwork. We are in this together and will achieve our goals one step at a time. I solicit feedback to ensure each session is personalized to meet the needs of our runners and exceed our goals!

What is your proudest coaching moment? 
One of my proudest coaching moments was developing and managing a run club speed team which participated at the NYRR 2022 Club Points Series races and placed 5th in the Men's Open Division C.

What is your favorite workout to coach and why?
I love long run training. It allows me the opportunity to truly gauge a runner's fitness, experience level, and connect with a runner in a different way.
