As an athletic therapist at St. F.X.U I was responsible for assessment of existing athletic injuries and implementation of rehabilitative measures such as bracing, ultrasound and strengthening exercises. Second, I have continued to practice my assessment and evaluative skills, as governed through my CPAFLA certification, throughout my six years as a personal trainer and fitness instructor in Ottawa clubs such as, Unlimited Fitness, Algonquin College and the Ray Friel Center, as well as my current position as an instructor at the Recreation Complex and through PSP here on base.

Ongoing work experience that has enhanced my independent, interpersonal and organizational skills would be my Teaching (ECE) position, as well as my position as an Academic Coordinator for Special Needs Children. Within each discipline, I have been required to work in association with professional support teams, aiding in the development and refinement of IEP’s and rehabilitation and therapeutic regimes. Consequently, as one of the primary educators it was my responsibility to provide accurate assessment/evaluation feedback to parents and specialists alike, as well as provide the hands on support and implementation necessary. Furthermore, through my experiences as a Physio Assistant and student nurse, completing a rotation in rehab at the Pembroke Hospital, the primary goal was to promote independence while respecting the physical and cognitive limitations of our clients and therefore providing individualized quality care.

I feel that my flexibility as a military spouse and my understanding of the PSP and the Fitness department and specialized training required for this field is an attribute to the program and hope that we have further opportunity to meet and discuss the position in detail.

Thank you for your time and consideration
