What is your background and training?

I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in Kinesiology and have been working as a kinesiologist in a rehabilitation setting for over four years. During this time, I have worked with a wide range of clients, helping them improve strength, endurance, and overall function through individualized exercise programs.

Through this experience, I’ve learned the importance of meeting clients where they are and adapting programs to support their goals, whether that means returning to sport, building confidence with movement again, or simply feeling stronger in everyday activities. One of the most rewarding parts of my work is seeing people regain independence through movement and rediscover the activities that bring them joy.

What inspired you to choose this career path?

I’ve always enjoyed being active and have been curious about how movement and exercise affect both physical and mental well-being. Through my experiences in sport and working in rehabilitation settings, I’ve seen how the right guidance and structured training can help people rebuild confidence in how they move and return to activities that are meaningful to them.

Why did you choose to work at Treloar?

I enjoy working in a collaborative environment where I can learn from colleagues with different expertise. Treloar has a supportive team culture, and that collaboration helps us provide the best care for our clients.

What are you personally passionate about?

I’m passionate about paddling and spent over 10 years competing in dragon boat. Along the way, I also coached youth teams and really enjoyed helping athletes develop their skills and confidence in the sport. It was especially rewarding to watch many of them continue paddling into adulthood and even compete at a high level. These days I spend most of my time surfski kayaking and try to get out on the water whenever I can. Being involved in paddling for so many years has given me a strong appreciation for movement, training, and staying active.
