Summary
I have combined sales and marketing skills, knowledge and innovation to gain success within the pharmaceutical industry. Life took me from Canada to the Netherlands, which energized my passion for movement and personal connection. There I returned to my true love of Kinesiology and wellness leadership. I truly believe that movement is the foundation of life, thought and connection.
