Emily grew up in South Florida, began riding horses at 8 years old, and competed at the national level until college when she became a professional and began her coaching journey. During this time, her stepfather introduced her to cycling, and after a few rides, she fell in love. Emily quickly found group rides and racing, even working at her local bike shop.

As Emily hired her first coach, she knew the importance of following a structured plan to achieve her goals, as it was the recipe for her success as a coached athlete and the cornerstone of her coaching philosophy. She spent over 15 years exploring and racing many cycling disciplines, eventually branching into triathlon in 2018 where she quickly became an elite-level age grouper. Emily's nearly two decades of experience in cycling helps a single sport athlete with the knowledge of the sport and the skills required to succeed, whether targeting a crit or a hundred-plus mile race.

Emily's journey into sports as an adult though hasn’t been easy. Growing up, she would do anything to get out of P.E.... she even thought walking the mile each year was a tough task to accomplish. Learning to run and swim competitively as an adult in her mid-30s was a tough experience that forced her to dig in, research proper form, understand the importance of mobility, and learn foundational strength work to grow and prevent injury. Emily believes that her later start in triathlon helps her work with adults who may not have a strong background in each discipline, leading athletes to those “AHA” moments without failure and frustration.

Coaching across multiple sports and leveraging her professional work experience leading high-performing teams has taught Emily how to tailor her approach to everyone’s unique learning style to empower their success.  Emily enjoys working with “type A” personalities who are highly driven in their daily life and want to tackle their training and race goals with that same attitude. Emily excels at helping driven athletes find sustainable rhythms of striving for success in sports while simultaneously fitting the requirements of it into demanding work and family schedules.
