My Story

Learning Differently

Growing up with dyslexia taught me resilience, adaptability, and the importance of finding my own way to learn and succeed.

Finding Belonging

Through sport, I discovered confidence, community, and a place where I felt I truly belonged.

Pursuing Excellence

My passion for wrestling evolved into a high-performance career that led to representing Canada internationally and competing at the Olympic Games.

Adapting Through Setbacks

Injuries, setbacks, and uncertainty taught me that success is rarely linear and that growth often happens through adversity.

Life Beyond Sport

Retirement from sport opened the door to new challenges, including coaching, entrepreneurship, public speaking, and returning to school.

The Next Chapter

Today I am a mother, wife, speaker, coach, entrepreneur, and Master of Management Analytics graduate who believes growth is a lifelong journey. I speak on topics such as Resilience & Adaptability, Leadership & Team Culture, Learning Disabilities & Learning Differently, Success, Setbacks & Reinvention, High Performance & Well-Being, and Confidence Through Challenge.
