Candidacy Statement:
I have served on the College's board for District 5 since the Fall of 2017. Over this period, I have served on the ICRC committee, Patient Relations committee, Specialties committee, and currently serve as chair of the Registration committee. In other organizations I have served board member roles, as well as chair and vice-chair roles which have provided me the opportunity to learn and facilitate proper governance.
As a kinesiologist, I have practiced injury prevention, cardiometabolic rehabilitation, and now perform a supervisory role that builds the growth and development of current and future kinesiologists while managing a corporate wellness program. I also co-own a private practice that employs kinesiologists that serves the public in preventing and managing chronic health conditions. The ownership has taught me the intersection of financial, marketing, and clinical skills as well as the need and ability of regulated health professionals to protect the public.
I believe my experience with the College as well as my broad knowledge as a kinesiologist make me an ideal candidate to represent District 5 in the College’s mandate to protect the public. If elected, I look forward to continuing my service on committees and the board.
