About Me

I used to complain how much I hated running and would never run a mile…but fast forward and here I am done with my second marathon!
Fast forward to my 3rd marathon on March 23rd, 2019 and I have Qualified for the Boston Marathon 2020!

Hi! My names Ciara. I’m a 21 year old personal trainer and certified Health Coach. I grew up in the small town of Los Alamos, NM and moved to Florida 5 years ago. I loved hiking and skiing, but now I spend most of my free time on the beaches and training for marathons. I currently attend Florida Institute of Technology where I received my Bachelors of Science in Applied Behavior Analysis and I am working on a Masters in Business Administration and Masters of Science in Accounting and Forensic Finance.

The move to Florida excited me as a runner. Low altitude I could run forever! I did forget how hard it is to run in the heat and humidity, which is why I joined a gym and loved it! I’ve been a personal trainer and group instructor for 3 years and running races for 7 years and I am a Certified Health Coach. I know the struggle that comes with the transition to a healthier lifestyle and I’ve experienced the dangers when you do it wrong. I believe being active should not be a chore, but should be a challenge we all want to take on for our future!
