About Me

Hey Everyone! My name is Jackie and I am 55+ years old. I work full time in Senior Living, I have been married 25 years, have a college going son and a doggo, and just started grad school. My family is my heart.

I am an avid runner and fitness enthusiast - I workout or run nearly every day. I have run over 45 marathons, 80 half marathons and I have seven Boston Marathons under my feet. I continue to chase races and new fitness goals, because I honestly don’t know who I am without it! I love to feel alive and energetic- that electric feeling you get after a great workout!

My coaching business began as Fit Sparrow, and the people who gather under Team Sparrow are a huge part of my heart. ❤️ FitSparrow for Longevity and Healthspan is the reinvention of my coaching world, as I am now a "masters" runner and understand the challenges we face as we age (many from personal experience).  With my study in Innovative Aging, working in senior living, and holding many certifications (run, personal training, long term, brain health, nutrition, wellness, senior fitness, and longevity) I have come to a new understanding of what it means to age well and on our own terms - even in running and fitness.  Come with me on the journey and enjoy your next evolution as a runner!
