Ever since I can remember, I’ve been on the go with activities and been involved in physical fitness.
As a young child coming from a split family, I grew up with many opportunities for after school sports. In my youngest years I was involved in swimming, gymnastics, dance and figure skating. I have acquired many rewards from those sports such as my lifesaving certificate, skating in local events, choreographing skate dance and advancing my dance skills into my teen years. Being a “non graceful” person, my parents also started me in Tae Kwon Do around the age of 12. I competed in sparring at various levels throughout my 2 years before I received my first degree black belt, and then enough experience to test for my second degree before leaving the sport. By the end of high school, I continued to dance and compete in various rugged styles such as Hip Hop, and Poppin to name a few. I also referred minor hockey for extra cash. Being the only female level 2 hockey and ringette ref is South East at the time, it kept me very busy. In the past 5 years, I have become overly interested in physical fitness training, nutrition and safe body biomechanics. I currently train on a regular 7 day a week basis, and will start training for the 2011 Novice and WBFF season this upcoming fall.
When moving to the area in 2008 to work as a Paramedic, I also started with Echo Fitness on my days off. I not only enjoy getting to know people in town, but helping aid in achieving goals and proper technique in and out of the gym for better health and safety.
When I’m not working, I enjoy being with my friends and family. You can also find me doing outside activities such as yard work, rollerblading and snowboarding. I have a passion for doing laundry, yes odd enough and travelling whenever I can get away.
