Carli Tonner – Program Coordinator

Carli Tonner, Program Coordinator, first became involved with Girls on the Run in August 2008 after graduating from the University of Missouri – St. Louis.  What started out as an internship has evolved into a full-time position as program coordinator.  Over the past three years, Carli has realized that not only is this program rewarding for girls, but adults as well.  It wasn’t until Carli began coaching in fall 2009 that she truly understood the power of the 10-week program and what it can do for everyone involved.

When Carli’s not empowering girls in her day-to-day, she loves being active.  Whether it’s playing any type of sport or just walking her dogs, being outdoors is her cup of tea.

Do you have any hidden talents or hobbies?

I consider myself to be a great whistler.  I’d even challenge anyone to a whistle-off.
