Summary

As a longtime advocate of wellness and exercise, I have more than 10 years of experience working in rehabilitation and case management. In my role as Supervisor and Case Manager working in the Cardiac Rehabilitation programs at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital (OTMH) and Cambridge Cardiac Care Center (CCCC), I helped more than 100 heart patients daily with lifestyle management and exercise prescription. At the YMCA of Oakville, I transitioned patients into programs similar to your Y Thrive and Live Well. I work directly with members and coach staff and volunteers in my current role as an Adult Program Specialist at the YMCA of Greater Toronto - Mississauga.
