Seven years after leaving the paid workforce to focus on my family, I transitioned from a mother of an intact family to a single mom with three young children. I decided if I could run a marathon, I could do anything. November 2012, I ran the Philadelphia Marathon in 4 hours. Seeking a greater physical and mental challenge, I raised the stakes and trained and competed in multiple half Ironman triathlons (1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, and 13.1 mile run). Endurance sports is fueling my personal and professional transformation. Anything is possible with the right plan, attitude, and some luck. An amazing work ethic, determination, follow through, and integrity set me apart from my peers.
