Run and Strength Coach

Head Coach, Embrace the Grind

A lifelong athlete and UESCA-certified coach, Sofie blends her engineering background with high-performance training. After competing in NCAA Division I soccer at Marquette and earning a Master’s in Biomedical Engineering, she worked on CGM technology at Dexcom – technology she now uses to manage her own Type 1 Diabetes while elite running, helping her become the 3rd ever T1D to qualify for the Olympic Trials (Marathon in a 2:36).

Sofie now specializes in coaching driven athletes balancing full-time careers, chronic conditions, or multifaceted lives, through her business Embrace the Grind. She still works full-time as an engineer at Sandia National Labs in Albuquerque, NM, but now with a mission to help athletes build strength, speed, and resilience – on and off the road.
