I have been an active member of the Saskatoon Water Ski Club (SWSC) for most of my life.  I worked for the club in 2016-2018 and since then have been helping cover shifts, driving, coaching and training when I can.  I will be graduating in the spring of 2022 with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Dalhousie University.  I love sport science and biomechanics and have been doing biomechanics research with sport applications during my time at Dalhousie.  

 

I am certified in NCCP Level 2 Build the Skills and Level 3 Learn to Compete with over 6 years of experience in coaching and officiating. Coaching and encouraging young athletes brings me a lot of joy and is my favourite way to be involved in the sport. You can usually find me at the club coaching, lowering buoys, organizing competitions, and training to try and keep up with my athletes!
