I graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with my Masters in Physical Therapy in 2019. Prior to this, I received my Bachelors degree in Exercise Science from Bemidji State University in Minnesota where I played NCAA Division 1 women’s ice hockey. I made the move to Fort McMurray in 2019 and am extremely grateful to live and work in this beautiful community I now call home! My passion for an active lifestyle combined with my athletic background has fuelled my interest in exercise prescription, manual therapy and functional dry needling. I place a strong emphasis on educating my patients and am a firm believer in providing a comprehensive treatment plan that is tailored to best serve each individual. Since graduating I have gone on to complete a variety of continuing education courses and strive to keep up with the latest evidence based practice. I am currently trained in: Functional dry needling, Kinesio-Taping, Mulligan Upper Quadrant, Spinal Manipulation, Shift Level 2 Concussion Assessment & Treatment, McKenzie Method and Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) Golf Assessments. I strive to use my professional knowledge to equip people with the tools that will allow them to achieve both their fitness and functional goals. I enjoy treating a variety of populations including: athletic, post-surgical, geriatric, neurological, musculoskeletal, and motor vehicle injuries. With the knowledge I've gained from my Exercise Science degree and personal experience in high level sports, I also enjoy building both functional and athletic training programs for my patients. In my spare time I lead an active lifestyle and love being outside playing golf or in the mountains hiking and snowboarding. I also enjoy weightlifting, playing badminton and hockey and spending time with my family and our dog Nova.
