Summary
With 13 years of competitive swimming experience, I have developed a deep passion for physical fitness and health. Throughout my swimming career and beyond, I have coached swimmers of various ages and skill levels, currently serving as both a swim coach and dryland instructor. As a Human Kinetics student at the University of Guelph, I continue to expand my knowledge in sport science and athlete development. In the 2025-2026 season, I will also be a student athletic therapist for the Gryphons Women's Field Hockey team, further strengthening my hands-on experience in sports performance and rehabilitation.
