Profile

Background
Originally from St. Albert, AB I have been a competitive track and field athlete from a very young age. In 1994 I moved to Vancouver, BC to attend Simon Fraser University to attain a BSc. in Kinesiology and in addition to competing for the Varsity Track & Field Team. In my four years competing I achieved 6 NAIA individual championship titles and was a member of 4 women's team titles. After completing my degree I was introduced to triathlon and in October 2001, moving to Victoria, BC to tra2008in at the National Triathlon Center (NTC) to pursue a new career in Triathlon.
Now a resident of Victoria, I am a member of the Canadian National Elite Team and a Gold Level athlete with Pacific Sport National Sports Center and the NTC. In the past I have worked as an exercise therapist, triathlon and running coach of both adults and youth (Kids of Steel), and a fitness consultant for CN Rail. I am  currently training full time with a new coach and training sites in Australia and Europe in 2007-08 in a renewed commitment to meet my potential on the ITU World Cup curcuit in pursuit of the "Olympic Dream".  In 2008 I won my first World Cup race in Richards Bay, South Africa and have been selected to represent Canada at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
