When did you decide you wanted to become a physiotherapist?
I was a competitive dancer (ballet and jazz) for over 16 years. I was in and out of physio a lot growing up. When I was 17, I fractured my lumbar spine (stress fracture) and was unable to dance for an entire year. The physiotherapists I went to made it possible for me to return to dance and continue doing the thing I loved most at the time. I wanted to opportunity to be able to give that gift to other people.
What is your favourite thing to do on the weekends?
In the winter, Otway is my happy place. I could spend all day out there. Right now, being pulled behind my skis way to get our daughter Elle (2 and a half) to take naps. In the summer, I love mountain biking and hiking, but since having 2 kids back-to-back those sports have taken a back seat. Our new favourite sport is biking around Prince George, the centennial trail is our favourite, with Logan (4) and Elle along for the ride. We recently got a tent trailer and canoe we love too!
