Summary
I am a self driven and motivated individual. I enjoy working with my team and thrive on cultivating an environment where my team feels comfortable to address any issues, successes or barriers they may have.
In my spare time i enjoy walking my dogs, spending time at the gym, occasional kickboxing, playing hockey and running a woman's support walking group that i have created. I apply an holistic approach to health across my personal life as well as when dealing with clients.
