Key accomplishments/background:
I grew up in a small town in British Columbia and always had a passion for nutrition, well-being, and working with people. Thismotivated me to pursue a degree in Human Nutritional Sciences at the University of Manitoba. While completing my degree I worked for various Winnipeg based initiatives that provide nutrition programming for children, such as Kids in the Kitchen and CanU, I also completed a spring semester abroad to further expand my nutrition knowledge. I completed an Accredited Dietetic Internship in Manitoba in 2020 and have since been working as a clinical dietitian with various populations in the city, as well as working on a Performance Nutrition Team with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet Professional Division.

Quote as to what excited the staff member about working with Pro Prep:
“Beyond just myself working with athletes and their nutritiongoals, I am excited to see how the entire Pro Prep Academy team will come together to help athletes achieve their goals.”
