For the past 5 years I have worked as a teacher for Edmonton Public Schools. Originally I graduated University with a Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology but life led me down the path of Education and I left University with not only the Kin but also an After Ed. Degree. It seems that life has a way of circling us around the things we love because here I am now doing Group Coaching and Personal Training out of Black Tusk, as well as continuing to teach with EPSB.

I was lucky enough to grow up playing lots of different sports, from skiing to sailing, hockey to basketball, my childhood mainly consisted of going from one practice to the next. In my adult life I have started to gravitate more towards sports that focus on individual achievement rather than competition such as mountain & road biking and backcountry skiing. Through these sports, formal education, and the countless inspiring individuals around me, I have learned the importance of maintaining and improving my own physical fitness to keep doing the activities I love.

Coaching at Black Tusk allows me to combine my love for physical activity with the enjoyment I get from seeing people learn new things and achieve their goals. It also gives me the opportunity to share the things I have learned about how to stay physically active, work hard, and continue to pursue passion.
