Emily grew up in the flatlands of Wisconsin but found her true passion running long distances in the mountains. Now based in Chamonix, France, she specializes in events ranging from the marathon to 100-mile ultras, with a deep appreciation for both road and trail running.

With over five years of coaching experience, Emily has guided a diverse range of athletes toward their goals—whether it’s running their very first 5K, chasing a marathon PR, or completing a 100-mile ultramarathon. She works with runners of all levels, from beginners discovering the joy of movement to seasoned competitors pushing their performance to new heights.

Her coaching style is athlete-centered and holistic, rooted in curiosity, compassion, and a deep belief in every runner’s potential. She emphasizes communication, individualized training, and long-term development, drawing on principles from both sport science and mindfulness-based practices.

As an athlete herself, Emily brings over seven years of experience in ultrarunning, including two top-10 finishes at the World Trail Running Championships as a two-time Team USA member. She understands the physical, mental, and emotional demands of endurance sports and is passionate about helping others navigate their own unique path to success.
