Qualifications: Personal Fitness Trainer (PFT) Diploma from Mount Royal College. Over 20 years experience as a personal trainer.

Personal History: I was raised in Calgary, Alberta, Canada; the oldest of five girls. My early career revolved around acting, modeling, and singing. I was involved with acting in both television and film. I also modeled for magazines, newspapers, and on many runways. My sisters and I even formed a country band called "Five Sisters." We opened for Billy Dean and we shared stages with Brian Adams, Waylon Jennings, and the Beach Boys. However, when a recording deal in Nashville fell through, I gave up my singing career and came back home to Calgary. Shortly afterwards, my mother died and I sunk into depression. Then, with determination and perseverance, I rebuilt my life one step at a time. I went to college and obtained my personal fitness trainer diploma. Then, I began working with my husband at our two health clubs. That's where I developed my Ripped! programs with the help of an exercise physiologist and physiotherapist.

Workout Philosophy: Take good care of yourself to ensure that you can give your best in everything you do.

Success Story: Karen McGrath from Calgary. She had been exercising 5 days per week for the past 6 years and wasn’t getting any results. She heard about me through Collage Video and decided to hire me as her personal trainer. When Karen first came in, she was very shy and timid. But, within five months, she was down 45 pounds! Not only does she have a renewed sense of confidence, but she has decided to pursue becoming a personal trainer herself! Karen has found her passion in fitness and wants to help others be the best that they can be.
