Personalinformation

I was born and raised in northern British Columbia playing diverse sports while progressing my education. Playing hockey at minor leagues, and soccer in the BC Provincial, Premier, and Varsity league. I naturally excel in team environments and enjoy helping others succeed. It was during my first year in Human Kinetics that I realized my skill in helping others physically and mentally, which ultimately led me to strive for a human rehabilitation career. Since then, I have focused on volunteering and working in the health industry to pursue my goals. I am looking to further my experience in the health industry and continue my passion for helping others.
