Team Canada Age Group Triathlete

Personal Trainer & Holistic Nutritionist

I have been an athlete since the moment I could walk, competing in hockey and lacrosse at a high level before discovering my passion for strength training and endurance sports. After battling autoimmune challenges throughout my life and surviving near-death illnesses that nearly ended my athletic journey, I transformed adversity into fuel for something greater. What began as survival evolved into a relentless pursuit of resilience and grit — a drive that led me to set bold goals, take on triathlon, and ultimately qualify to represent Team Canada as an Age Group Triathlete. From CrossFit, bodybuilding, and ultramarathon running to long-course triathlon, I have learned that true performance isn’t just about pushing harder — it’s about recovery, balance, and the right fuel. Through disciplined training and a deep understanding of nutrition, I have built strength from the inside out, proving that what you put into your body matters just as much as the work you put in.Today, I share my journey to inspire others to rebuild stronger, live with purpose, and never stop going one more. I remind everyone that you have one body and one life — use it, fuel it and see what’s possible.

Formulas I reach for...

Magnesium Bis-Glycinate
"This was the first CanPrev product I stumbled upon many years ago. It is part of my nightly routine — it helps me calm my nervous system, recover faster, and sleep deeply so I can perform my best every single day."

Elite Neuro
" It has become one of my secret weapons for focus and performance. It keeps me locked in during heavy training blocks and long workdays, helping me maintain mental clarity and recover as hard as I train. I notice a massive difference in my mental sharpness and reduced brain fog."
