Sports:

I believe sports are an integral and necessary part of life… from swimming, to rugby, to field hockey, to wrestling, sports (with and outside school) have taught me so many critical life lessons.

Coaching:

For the last couple of years, I’ve had the opportunity to coach young and developing swimmers with the Poco Marlins Swim Club- and it’s taught me, above-all-else, how to maintain patience even when frustrated.

Volunteering:

Before I was hired as a coach, I volunteered with the Club to work with young Mini-Marlins (the pre-cursor to Marlins Swimming). I also, as part of my work experience program, spent 90 hours volunteering in a vet-clinic (Port Coquitlam Animal Hospital), and it was one of the most interesting environments I’ve experienced… and an incredible experience.
