My professional journey began amidst the rugged peaks and untamed landscapes of British Columbia, where I guided backcountry ski and snowboard expeditions. The thrill of navigating complex terrain and supporting others through physically and mentally challenging environments taught me the power of resilience and adaptability. My love for the outdoors led me across the country, from guiding sea kayaking adventures along the scenic coasts of the Maritimes to leading transformative canoe and hiking trips in the wilds of Ontario.

Alongside my guiding career, I pursued my passion in academia, teaching educational philosophies at the university level with a focus on outdoor education. My work centred on transformational and experiential learning, helping students connect deeply with both their environment and themselves. My doctoral research delved into perspective transformation through reflective practices, revealing that challenge-based activity paired with thoughtful reflection can lead to profound personal growth and lasting change.

Through these experiences, I have cultivated a unique skill set—blending evidence-based strategies, hands-on experience, and reflective practice. These approaches now form the foundation of my personal coaching, allowing me to guide others through their own transformative journeys, whether in the wilderness or the complexities of everyday life.
