Through my studies I have acquired a strong foundation and a broad understanding of the skills required in the field of health and fitness. My education has provided theoretical and practical knowledge in assessment, prescription and program planning intended for a variety of clientele. The professionalism and marketing strategies gained by the business administration diploma compliments my pursuit for health promotion.

My work experience began at the Dr. Paul Schwann Centre where I gained valuable experience working with diverse public requiring very individualized programs. I have had the opportunity to assess the health and fitness as well as implement exercise programs for the general healthy population, clients limited by cardiac and chronic diseases as well as collegiate athletes. I assisted with the group fitness testing of the Regina City Police and Regina City Fire Department. Over the summer, I was employed for an active tourism company which only amplified my passion for health promotion and active living. I experienced guiding a variety of ages through exercises outside of the conventional gym setting, allowing clients to understand the many components attributed to achieving a healthy lifestyle. Given the right educational tools and motivation, I’ve witnessed clients face their biggest fears, and overcome such challenges. Balancing the many components of health such as nutrition, exercise and healthy lifestyle choices is a topic I have become very familiarized with through numerous individual counseling as well as group presentations. 

I have recently completed a 26-day, 200hr yoga teacher training at the Yandara Yoga Institute in Baja Mexico. I have always taken a holistic approach to my area of health and fitness, and believe my Hatha yoga training has enhanced my passion and ability to promote a healthy lifestyle.
