Additional Information

I owe a lot to my volunteer experiences and those that were my mentors. In high school a co-operative education course led to a connection with a physiotherapy clinic that turned from volunteer work into a paid job from highschool into university. While at university, I spent 3 seasons working with the varsity football team as a student trainer under their Athletic Therapist. It was these experiences that created the practitioner I am today.
