TOC Junior Development Coach

Athletics have always been an integral part of my lifestyle. In my youth, I participated in various sports and was honored as the athlete of the year for four consecutive years during high school. Throughout my university years, I began training for a 10k with a group of friends, sparking my passion for running. In the 90s, I was a member of the Toronto Olympic Club, and one of my proudest achievements was being selected as a part of the Runner’s Choice New Balance Team.

I have been an elementary school teacher for over 20 years, coaching student athletes in various sports. Over the years, coaching has been incredibly rewarding as I've witnessed athletes develop into their best selves, both in athletics and life in general. It brings me immense joy when athletes come back and express the positive impact I've had on their lives.

I am eager for the opportunity to once again collaborate with the T.O.C. team, creating many more wonderful and life-changing moments.
