About Me
After years of battling the weight loss roller coaster, I found my passion in fitness. I love sharing my passion and igniting it into others to reach those goals and summits they did not believe they were capable of. I took this new found joy to the next level, and began running ultra marathons, which is something I never imagined I was capable of.
During this time, it became a passion to motivate and educate others. As a certified Personal Trainer and Fitness Instructor, I have been positively impacting lives of nationally and internationally ranked athletes as well as teams, and working with everyone from teens to seniors.
My passion for the mountains has me working as a running coach, a race director for Canadian Death Race, as well as a strategic advisor and a racer with many other running events throughout North America. I am also the organizer and leader of multiple mountain running and snowshoe training camps. Further, I actively work as an Interpretive Hiking and Snowshoe Guide.
My passion has led me to take my educating indoors to outdoors where I have been certified as an Instructor for the Outdoor Council of Canada. I get to share my experience and knowledge to educate others on how to get outside safely and responsible in all seasons. My knowledge has enabled me to author and co-author programs as well.
The next leg of my journey has and is taking me on long distances thru hiking and embracing the disconnect to reconnect on a deeper level with nature and all it has to offer. Along the way I will learn and share the history of the amazing places I will visit.
Join me on this journey!!!
