Originally from Northern Virginia, Marie moved to Baltimore in 2007 to take a job with the Y.  She was introduced to Charm City Run almost immediately.  She was training for her first half marathon and came across the training programs for Charm City Run.   They were some cool people so she stuck around for the season and then another season and then we asked her to coach and then we asked her to work part time in the store and then asked her to work full time an open our Clarksville store…and that’s how she got here.  The energy and friendly smiles of the people in the store just kept making her come back and want to be a part of this thing called Charm City Run. 

Running has always been a part of Marie’s life as she started running at a young age with her dad.  Saturday long runs started when she was in elementary school riding her bike next to her dad as he was training for marathons.  Eventually she started running next to him while she trained for Basketball through high school and then at Bridgewater College where she majored in Exercise Science and Nutrition.   After college and basketball she needed something to do, so running was the next logical step.  She can be found these days coaching the training groups and running races with her dad.

When not running or working, Marie can usually be found outside with friends biking, swimming, hiking, or volunteering at races.
