Raised in Kelowna, BC, Canada, I currently am the Development and Events Coordinator at Aberdeen Hall Preparatory School in Kelowna, BC. Working at a nonprofit organization is a passion of mine and I am very lucky to work for such a fantastic organization. 

When I am not working full time at Aberdeen Hall, I am also a fitness instructor! I teach cycle not only because I strive to enourage those around me to maintain their fitness goals or work out after a long day at work, I do it because I know I can inpsire each and everyone of them! Teaching Cycle brings me joy because I know I can motivate other members at the gym with my high, energetic personality to keep them excited and wanting them to come back for more. 

I also love to run and am currently training for my very first full marathon! Having run a few 5km, 10km and half marathons, I thought I would challenge myself to do the full meal deal and run a full marathon in May 2014. My ulitmate goal is to complete an Iron Man in the next 5 years. 

I have been part of the BC Ride to Conquer for 5 years now which consists of a 260km bike ride from Vancouver, BC to Seattle, WA USA over the course of 2 days. It is the largest fundraiser in BC for the BC Cancer Foundation. I cannot wait to bike again this year for my 6th year! 

Hiking is another passion of mine, having hiked to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro and to the top of Macchu Picchu! Basically anything outside to do with activity I am in my happy place - hiking, surfing, running, snowboarding, cycling etc and the list goes on!

I am a very active, positive person who is always looking for a challenge. I love inspiring and helping those in need around me and I love to give back to the community.
