Youth Coach Laura Chiorello

Laura Chiorello arrived in Santa Cruz County in 1992 as a UCSC student and has never left! After earning her MA in Education, she began teaching in the Soquel Union Elementary School District. Over 13 years, she taught students in grades 4-8 everything from science and health to humanities, but some of the most fun she had was running with her students.  A SCTC member since 2005, Laura has been a triathlete and a runner for 20 years, completing 3 marathons, two Olympic distance triathlons, and countless half marathons, sprint triathlons, 10 milers, 10K's, 5 milers, and 5K's. Her proudest moments have been placing in her age group in local races.  She lives in Soquel with her husband, Jeff, also a SCTC member, their six year old daughter, Vivienne, who never stops running, their hyper border collie, Zeke, and their highly energetic Siamese cat, Soobie.
