                 The integrity of my work is reinforced by my ongoing professional development in the area of new approaches to training clients to meet their fitness goals.   I know that time management and flexibility are key attributes in maintaining a successful personal training business. Working in the education field has allowed me the opportunity to work both independently and collaborate with a variety of organizations to develop and implement curriculum.  My role as an educational consultant with Engineers Without Borders was to work in collaboration with the local chapters to develop learning material and presentations.  As a physical education teacher I developed and implemented a physical education program based on the Ministry of Education documents.  My goal as an educator is to create a learning environment that supports learning success.   I am committed to student achievement and value the importance of diverse teaching methodologies. 

               ​My experience in many and diverse leadership situations, my success as a national level athlete, my involvement with our youth as a  teacher, referee and a high school coach has supported my drive and determination to achieve excellence. I possess a very high level of self-motivation and I am able to perform very well under pressure and in a variety of settings.   I enjoy taking on challenges and will work hard.  I am committed to excellence.
