I decided I wanted to be a physiotherapist during a gap-year working in Colorado. I spent my days around work like everyone else, skiing or snowboarding, running or mountain biking. While I managed to skirt any major injuries of my own, I witnessed numerous instances of injury abruptly taking friends away from the sports, communities, and remote adventures that brought joy, thrill, awe and meaning to their lives. I knew I wanted to spend my life helping people get back to their best lives, and helping them hold on to them as long as possible!

I have never been elite in my sporting pursuits; I would classify myself as more of a “yes!” to the adventure and experience type of athlete. I stay as consistently active as possible in part for the laundry list of health benefits, but largely with the goal of being able to participate in a variety of sports and activities into my oldest years, and to stay healthy and conditioned enough that I can say jump in when opportunity strikes! Calgary is my ideal home base - adventure opportunities abound!

I train specifically for a few running events each year to challenge my endurance and for the thrill of the race, and then I appreciate low structure seasons without specific running pursuits, returning to a wider variety of sports and activities.

I enjoy helping people prepare for all types of sporting events and love to cheer people on through their athletic successes, competitive or recreational.
