Ni Bueno has been a USAT Level I coach for seven years. She holds a BS degree in microbiology, a MS degree in sports medicine, and an EdD degree in organizational leadership. She is currently an Assistant Professor in the Health, Physical Education, and athletics division at Cerritos College in Norwalk, CA.

Ni has participated in triathlons for 9 years. She has completed sprint, Xterra, and Ironman distance races. She has coached worldwide athletes online for over 4 years.

For the past seven years, Ni has been the head triathlon coach for Team Survivor Los Angeles, a non-profit organization that offers free fitness and health programs to any woman affected by any type of cancer, in any stage of treatment or recovery. Many of the women come to the program without a previous exercise lifestyle, and many women would never imagine completing a triathlon! The women train annually for the Danskin Triathlon in Los Angeles.

The sport of triathlon goes beyond the finish line – a person is never the same after completing a triathlon.
