Career Story

After high school I attended McMaster University and completed my B.Sc. I simultaneously continued developing my industry specific certifications in first aid training and safety management. This led me to a successful career in athletic management in the private industry, as well as the academic recreation industry. After my position was closed due to restructuring, I took a leap of faith and decided to create my own company.
