Background: I grew up playing pretty much every sport I could since I was a kid; starting with soccer, then on to track, basketball, boxing, football, rugby etc. Near the end of my competitive sports career, I fell in love with the weight room and the process of helping myself and my friends improve, athletically. After high school, I completed a college diploma in Fitness & Health, then went to university to pursue a degree in Exercise Science, where I was able to work in professional rugby, asan international student in Ireland, and complete a dissertation focused on neuromuscular recovery after exercise. My focus ever since has been helping athletes develop, learn about their bodies and progress in their sport. I am now blessed to work alongside a group of great coaches & players and even better people, with our Men’s Basketball team.

Interest: Lifting, basketball, boxing/MMA, cooking, learning new things and podcasts.
