About Miranda

 Miranda was born in July, 1985 and grew up in Toronto, Ontario (and a couple years on Long Island, NY). She started her journey in sports at 8 years old when she joined a local soccer club in Port Washington, NY. Sports have been a constant in her life ever since. Swimming became her main focus as a teenager (Granite Gators Swim Team, McGill Varsity Swim Team). Her highest ranking was 16th in the province in the 200 breast stroke for females aged 13-14. She did her first triathlon at 18 and competed in the sport recreationally (McGill Triathlon Club and U of T Triathlon Club) while she completed her Bachelor of Science at McGill University and Master of Science at U of T. Miranda started training and racing a bit more seriously upon graduation, while she balanced triathlon with her career as a research scientist at Sick Kids Hospital. At 24, Miranda made a life change when she decided step away from her job in research to pursue a career in triathlon coaching and compete as a professional triathlete. She had many podium finishes and placed 23rd female Pro at the Ironman 70.3 World Championships. However,  in 2014, she was sidelined with a knee injury that she was told would never fully heal. She went back to school to become a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) and is now a full time RMT and Triathlon Coach, a wife and full time step-mum. Miranda spent  8 years building back her fitness from her injury and decided to race professionally in 2024. Her return to professional racing included some mixed results, with the highly being a 12th place finish at 70.3 Chattanooga. In 2025, Miranda will continue to race professionally.
