"I am passionate about my role as a Trail Coach at Fleet Feet Monterey because coaches and mentors were a huge part of my life journey and a way I love giving back to my community. I wholeheartedly believe that community and connection are inherently healing and that adding health and movement contribute to the creation of environments that help us thrive and feel empowered to uncover our true potentials! I am forever grateful to be apart of the Fleet Feet community that has brought so much into my life.”
