Aimee Spector: Educator, Coach, Mentor, Fundraiser, Community Builder, Side hustler, & a wildly accomplished, badass athlete.

Aimee Spector operates at 110% and 100 miles per hour in everything she does and there is no off switch; which I very much appreciate. She has the best laugh but she is also passionately determined to drive herself, and her teammates, to peak performance… which may not always have her teammates laughing. From her career as an educator to running a non-profit fundraiser for over a decade, to running ultramarathons and paddling countless channel crossings, Aimee is all-in on the things that drive her; family, athletic achievements and adventure, service to others, community and way more. Aimee’s story is a damn good one that will get you fired up to get after it; whatever “it” is for you.
