I started running at the age of five and have steadily progressed with the goal of representing New Zealand at the Olympic Games. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of competing in two World Championships, a Commonwealth Games, and the Tokyo Olympics in the 5000m and 10,000m events.

After having a baby and transitioning from the track to the road, I ran my first marathon in Valencia in December 2023 β€” a race that qualified me for my second Olympic Games. Some of my most cherished memories include running the Olympic Marathon through the streets of Paris, with my daughter and family cheering from the side lines.

With a wealth of experience as both an athlete and coach, I understand how to manage training loads and schedules alongside work, personal, and family life. I’m passionate about helping others achieve their goals, set new PBs, and discover the joy of running. I love to run, and there is no reason why you can’t too! I want to share the love of running and how it can bring you so much joy and adrenaline, through the ups and downs that is running.
