Biography
Being passionate about strength training and injury prevention lead me to graduate from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. I spent my degree focusing on injury management, strength, and conditioning, as well as anatomy and biomechanics to further deepen my understanding of the human body. During my undergrad, I was able to spend time with The Bridge family; learning their model for injury management and return to sport. I continued my education by studying to become a certified strength and conditioning specialist with the NSCA.
A continued interest in running lead me to becoming a Certified Running Coach with the United Endurance Sports Coaching Academy (UESCA). I enjoy designing individualized run programs for clients, as well as coaching them through the entire process (mental and physical gameplans), and even fixing running mechanics to help improve running economy.
Growing up in Sherwood Park I was always involved in community sports. Most of my childhood was spent playing soccer, eventually being able to play tier 1 for 5 years with Southwest United and finishing second in provincials. In university, my focus shifted to clinical performance as I participated in concussion testing as well as a VO2max and respiratory performance study.
My desire to help others achieve their goals and improve their quality of life is what motivates me to excel at what I do. Whether it be fixing a muscle imbalance, improving biomechanics, or simply improving athletic ability, my aim is to help everyone reach their potential.
