Bio

Dr. Cornetta "Netta" Mosley is a professor of audiology at the University of Texas at Dallas, Run Captain for Run It Up Dallas, and a passionate advocate for health equity and representation in running. As an educator, Dr. Mosley teaches hearing science to doctoral and master's students, helping train the next generation of audiologists and speech pathologists. But after 5 PM, you'll find her leading one of Dallas's most vibrant and inclusive running communities. Netta's relationship with running began in third grade on the track at Lake Highlands High School, where she competed as a sprinter and hurdler. During her undergraduate years at LSU, she discovered distance running as a form of meditation and freedom, logging countless miles around the university's lakes. After earning her PhD in Seattle, she returned to Texas and found her true calling: building community through movement. As Run Captain of Run It Up Dallas, Netta is part of a leadership team creating transformative change in the Dallas running scene. She's committed to increasing representation of Black and Brown runners in the sport, both at the start line and on the podium. Under her leadership, she spearheaded the "Get Off the Couch" program through the Run It Up Foundation—a six-week initiative that goes beyond fitness to build confidence and transform how participants see themselves. For Netta, running isn't just about personal records—it's about watching community members discover their own strength, one mile at a time.
