Hockey Background

Built through competition. Defined by leadership.

I’ve spent over a decade in hockey as both a player and a coach — competing at elite levels, leading teams, and winning championships. From representing Canada on the world stage to guiding the next generation of players, every experience has shaped my approach to skill development, athletic growth, and long-term success.

Competitive Highlights

  • Cornell University (NCAA Division I) — Assistant Captain, 2012–2016

  • *Hockey Canada — U18 World Champion (2011–2012)

  • Clarkson Cup Champion (2018) — Markham Thunder, CWHL

  • Isobel Cup Champion (2023) — Toronto Six, PHF

  • Top Scoring Defender (2021 & 2022) — Toronto Six, PHF

  • Esso Cup Finalist (2010) & Champion (2011) — Canadian National Championship

Known for leadership, consistency, and a unique ability to play effectively on both sides of the ice, I continue to bring that same competitive mindset and attention to detail into every athlete I coach.
