Program Manager, Outdoor Centre & Omada Teambuilding
'Everybody needs beauty…places to play in and pray in where nature may heal and cheer and give strength to body and soul alike' - John Muir

I got connected with TWU through my passion for paddling and later connected with Omada Teambuilding as a Lead Facilitator in 2021. Growing up in Saskatchewan, I had the privilege of taking part in an outdoor experiential program that fostered my passion for outdoor adventure.

In my post-secondary experience,e I took part in an outdoor leadership course that paved the way for me to continue learning and taking on new adventures. From sea kayaking, skiing, mountaineering to swift water rescue and avalanche control - I truly learned a lot and have continued to appreciate the many avenues the outdoor field has. I have experience working in ski-patrol as well as being a Primary Care Paramedic here in the Fraser Valley. Getting to work here at Omada is truly a fun-filled environment that allows me to share what I am passionate about with our students, staff and clients.
