I feel so privileged to be a part of the Warrior Physiotherapy team! I first became interested in the field of physiotherapy when I was a high school student. I experienced different health struggles throughout my childhood and adolescent years, so I was tremendously benefitted by the expertise and compassion of the medical professionals who worked with me. The idea that I could play a similar role to others was inspiring. As I grew up, I fell in love with anatomy, biology, and biomechanics which also contributed to my interest in health sciences, specifically physiotherapy. The more I learned about physiotherapy, the more it seemed like a field that combined the pursuit of a strong scientific knowledge base while allowing you to foster meaningful relationships with your clients as you walk alongside them through their recovery journey.

Throughout my undergraduate degree prior to starting my Masters for physiotherapy, I had the opportunity to work at a physiotherapy clinic in both administration and physiotherapy assistant roles. During my time at this clinic, the two clinic owners graciously mentored me and provided me with learning opportunities that were hugely valuable. One of these mentors specialized in pelvic health physiotherapy, and it was through her that I learned of how impactful pelvic health physiotherapy can be for clients. She worked diligently to educate and empower women in their health, and the benefits of this were truly remarkable. From my time at this clinic, I knew I wanted to specialize in pelvic health. Women are incredibly resilient, and being able to support such strong individuals is very meaningful to me.

Outside of the clinic, I love to spend my time riding horses in a sport called dressage, running recreationally, and you can always count on me for grabbing a cone of ice cream from any of Calgary’s fine ice cream establishments, regardless of the season or temperature.

 I am both humbled and incredibly excited to be a part of the Warrior team as it allows me to live out a dream that began many moons ago. I am excited to meet you in clinic and be a part of your recovery!
