She holds an Associate Degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management, a Bachelor’s degree in Business Admnistration, as well as a diploma in Health and Fitness (Kinesiology- SFU), and is currently completing a Masters Degree in Business. These are integrated in her consulting work as a spa “fitness professional” (strive to say these two words together and still have people take me seriously) in some of North America’s best resorts and spas. Over 15 years of diverse experience in fitness, yoga and Pilates are also reflected in her lectures and presentations within the fitness industry, as well as the innovative, energy infused instructor training courses she leads.

She gets most charged up about spending time with her daughter, connecting with one or more of her six siblings, and doing things with friends, especially if they involve running, cycling, cross country skiing, kayaking, surfing, kayak surfing, or anything fun outdoors. She loves challenge, learning and meeting people.
