Chiropractor
Blackstock,ON
Summary
I have been involved in the caring and education of people for most of my life. As of late it has been in the role of a Chiropractor and Primary Healthcare provider. Aside from daily patient interactions, I led seminars discussing many healthcare topics. As a CrossFit instructor I lead classes for Strength and Fitness, Powerlifting and Rowing. As a student in Chiropractic college I taught First Aid and CPR to my classmates in a seminar format. As a Lifeguard supervisor I led in-service training and competed in the National Lifeguard championships.
I maintain a keen interest in life-long learning with daily reading of journal articles regarding Life Sciences, Physics and Engineering. I have a broad knowledge base regarding the human body, biology, human movement and health. I enjoy teaching to those with a thirst for knowledge to improve themselves and others. I feel I would be an asset as a teacher as I strive to understand for myself, why things happen, where do we need to search for more understanding and how we can apply what we learn to our lives going forward.
