Since graduating from the U of A in 1990, I have developed a personal interest in chronic health conditions, and have worked almost exclusively with complex physical and mental health conditions for over 25 years.  

I have extensively studied the role that stress, metabolic health and immune system balance play in the development of chronic health conditions, and the role that healthy lifestyle behaviours play in helping our patients gain control over their health.

​

I have acquired my FCAMT, am PGAP Certified and Matheson FCE trained.

I graduated from the U of A with my Kinesiology degree, majoring in Adapted Physical Activity. I have worked with an array of people with all levels of ability in a fitness setting and have helped them adapt exercise to meet their specific needs. I believe that the beauty of exercise is that there is always another way to do something. I have always taken interest in sport, exercise, and health and wellness, and it has always been a part of my life. It’s been amazing knowing I can make a career out of it. I am very passionate about educating others on the importance of exercise and wellness and how it will benefit their life. I truly believe that movement is medicine.

When I’m not working, you can find me rock climbing, hanging with my dog, or hanging with my dog while rock climbing.

Since graduating from the University of Lethbridge with my kinesiology degree, I have gained experience with a variety of populations; from supporting people with developmental disabilities to working as a chiropractic assistant. I am interested in adapting activity to suit a person’s capabilities and helping them feel accomplished. With On-Site, I have been able to tailor exercise programs to fit what people can accomplish, their interests and their lifestyle in hopes that they will continue exercising long after their time in the program!

When I am not at work, I enjoy hiking, rock climbing and exploring the river valley.

Since graduating from the University of West Alabama in 2022 with my Bachelor Degree in Exercise Science, I have enjoyed working with a wide variety of populations.  As a former collegiate softball player, I have a sincere love of physical activity, and respect for the immense value that it brings to my life.  I believe exercise is medicine and is vital to our wellbeing, regardless of an individual's abilities or limitations.  It has been my privilege to work with many exceptional people through On-Site Rehab who inspire me as much as I hope to inspire them.  

When I'm not in my vest, you may find me on the ball diamonds, in the gym, or cozied up with my cat!

Obtaining my Bachelor’s of Kinesiology from the University of Alberta has enriched my understanding of health promotion, anatomy, exercise physiology, and the importance of physical activity. I have had the privilege of working with a variety of populations including youth, seniors, and individuals experiencing cancer. I believe exercise is medicine and helps individuals regain control over their lives improving their quality of life in multiple domains. I have a passion for assisting and empowering individuals to pursue a physically active lifestyle and I value the importance of connecting people with their communities. I cater exercise programming to an individual's specific needs and desires and help them to build confidence and independence.

Aside from spending most of my time in the gym, I love to camp, golf, ski, hike, and enjoy a warm cup of coffee!

Upon graduating from the University of Alberta with a Bachelors in Kinesiology, I have been able to apply valuable skills and knowledge from my degree to real-life scenarios. Coming from a competitive soccer background, I have always emphasized the importance of physical fitness, however I have gradually learned that overall health also relies heavily on mental and emotional well-being. I am a firm believer that exercise has the ability to heal physically, mentally, and emotionally, and I am elated to be able to help guide people on their journey towards an overall healthier life. We will curate a personalized exercise program to help individuals reach their overall health goals and gain confidence not only in the gym, but their everyday lives. I am passionate about serving others and having a meaningful impact on the lives of the people I interact with. 

When I’m not in the gym, you can find me on the soccer pitch, spending time with family, or scouring farmer’s markets for delicious new treats!
