I started riding my bike again 4 years ago.  I love that my bike helps me to stay healthy physically and mentally.  I have met a lot of great people through riding my bike.  I love coaching and seeing the kids grow in their self-confidence and skills throughout the season and from year to year.  I hope to ride and complete the Katy Trail in the near future.

I started coaching because my daughter is on the team and I really respect the core values and principles of NICA and Team Coyote.  As a former teacher, coaching gives me an outlet for connecting with and teaching youth, and also gets me out and more active on my own bike.  I’m very proud to be a part of this great organization!
