Bio

Education/Experience

After graduating high school I decided to make exercise/health and fitness my life and went to University to pursue a Bachelor of Physical Activity Studies majoring in Fitness and Lifestyle.
I went on to further my education by taking the Professional Fitness and Lifestyle Course, Medical Exercise Specialist, Functional Capacity Evaluator and will upgrade to the Exercise Therapist Designation in Nov 06.
I have worked as an Exercise Therapist in many different environments: Cardiac Rehabilitation in Edmonton, Ab. This involved rehabilitating patients post heart attack/stroke or at high risk for cardiovascular disease and working directly with a Cardiologist and medical team in a multidisciplinary physiotherapy clinic in Swift Current, patients injured at work or in motor vehicle accidents, functional capacity evaluations, setting up return to work programs and personal training for general public.
Currently I am the Senior Ability Management Coordinator Position for our Health Region and am enjoying taking on personal training clients to help them reach their fitness goals

When I turned 30 years of age I missed the idea of competition and excellence in sports, so I decided to try my luck at bodybuilding and entered my first competition.
2004 Sk Novice 1st place heavy weight, overall.
2005 Sk Provincials 1st place middle weight, overall.
2006 Canadian Nationals 2nd place heavy weight
