Curtis is entering her 5th season as Head Coach of the Lions Women’s Cross Country team, after serving as an assistant coach from 2018 to 2021, and competing for the Lions from 2013-2016.

As an athlete, Curtis was a part of the fastest women's cross country team in LMU history, which placed 9th at the NCAA Regional in 2014 and 3rd in the West Coast Conference. She placed 23rd at the West Coast Conference Championships in 2014, to help the Lions to a 3rd place team finish.

Curtis came to LMU as a transfer from University of Washington where she was a part of the top recruiting class in the nation in 2010.  While at Washington (2010-2013) Curtis placed 17th in the 800m at the 2012 Pac12 Championships despite being sidelined with injuries throughout most of her Husky career. In high school, Curtis won the California State Championship in the 1600m, as well as 6 CIF titles. She also set the CA State record in the 800m / 3200m double, and anchored Redondo Union High School’s state record 4x1600m relay which finished 2nd in the nation in 2010.

Curtis earned a master’s degree in Counseling with LMU’s School of Education. She plans to pursue a PhD in Sport Psychology at a later date.
