Kinesiologist
Athletic Therapist

As a BCAK Practicing Kinesiologist and Certified Athletic Therapist, I am passionate about helping people meet their functional fitness goals in a safe and positive environment.

I have had a passion for sports and exercise since a young age, and love being able to share my knowledge on the topic with others. My goal is to collaborate with every client to ensure that each program works towards achieving their goals using a form of exercise they enjoy. With my background in athletic therapy, I also place a strong emphasis on safe and functional movement that can be translated into everyday life.

I was born and raised in Campbell River, BC, where I grew up participating in a variety of sports including softball, volleyball, dance and swimming. This led to an interest in therapeutic exercise and injury rehabilitation, which prompted me to pursue a

Bachelor’s degree in Athletic & Exercise Therapy from Camosun College. I have experience working with individuals of all ages and abilities, including first-time gym goers and both recreational and olympic-level athletes.

I look forward to helping my clients meet their full potential and grow confidence in movement.

Personal Trainer 

I’m a fourth year Kinesiology student at Camosun College with my diploma in Kinesiology. I am currently a Certified Personal Trainer with CSEP. My passions are helping people develop their functional strength and improve their overall health. I believe exercise and training are so much more than just tools but also medicine and investments. My next steps are graduation and pursuing a certification as an exercise physiologist, with a specialization in cardiac rehab and orthopaedic injury rehabilitation.

Nutrition Coach

Personal Trainer

Growing up here on Vancouver Island, I have always had an active lifestyle and enjoy hiking, camping, kayaking, and skiing. I also have participated in team sports for over 15 years, playing softball and hockey at competitive levels.

During my time playing these sports, I participated in dry land training. This led to my focus and love of strength training. After I completed my Exercise and Wellness Diploma at Camosun College in 2018, I realized the importance of nutrition for optimal athletic performance. Balancing your diet with your fitness program is a critical component to your success.

With my new interest being in nutritional science, I completed my Exercise Nutrition Certificate through Precision Nutrition and am in my 4th year of the Dietetics program at the University of British Columbia, in the pursuit of becoming a registered Dietitian. I love helping my clients reach their goals with a well-rounded wellness program in both personal training and nutrition.

Kinesiologist
Athletic Therapist

I completed my Bachelor of Athletic and Exercise Therapy at Camosun College, and then further pursued certifications as an Athletic Therapist and Practicing Kinesiologist. My interest in exercise science stems from participating in both team and individual sports and competing at regional and provincial competitions in swimming, rugby, basketball and cross country.

As my sports wound down, I transitioned into being a swim coach. I have coached hundreds of kids on the ins and outs of competitive swimming. In addition to my knowledge gained from school from practical experience working with sports teams as well as my own fitness training, I have extensive hands-on experience to help others with building healthier lifestyles.

I spend most of my time outside of work doing my own workouts or with my dog Kyro, going on hikes and playing outside.
