 After completing my Level 1 FST, I am eager to increase my knowledge of the applied fundamentals of assessment, movement and strength.
Some background knowledge: I was born in Timmins, Ontario, but shortly after my family relocated to Barrie, Ontario where I was raised as a competitive athlete in soccer, badminton, ball hockey, as well as coaching each. After attending all French schools in my childhood, I decided to continue my education at Laurentian University. After completing 4 years with my Honours Bachelor of Science in Kinesiologie, I decided that I wanted to bring all of this together through my passion of sports and rehabilitation, to maintain and improve the health of any and all individuals who cross my path. ​
I look forward to continuing pursuing my education in FST, as well as other certifications and modalities to ensure the highest level of rehabilitation and care possible.
