Kate discovered her passion for endurance cycling after a long history of competitive running, including competing as a D1 collegiate heptathlete. She moved to Colorado from New York City for the skiing but stayed for the mountain biking and trail running. After falling in love with mountain biking, she quickly dove head first into mountain bike and gravel racing and is now competing in some of the most competitive off-road races in the United States as a 2024 Life Time Grand Prix athlete.

Working full time and training full time, Kate understands the challenges of work-life-training balance and enjoys coaching athletes to meet their goals in an achievable, healthy manner. With a career in data and finance, she naturally loves nerding out on training data but sees the immeasurable value of less quantitative training metrics. Kate finds joy in mentoring athletes new to bike racing and believes everybody has an opportunity to grow as a well-rounded person and athlete through the training process. As a Boulder resident, she loves building adventurous routes through the endless gravel mountain roads in the greater Boulder area.

As a process-oriented athlete and coach, Kate believes focusing on process goals is key to achieving the results you’re striving for. The other keys to success on the bike? Stay curious and keep having fun.
