Title: Program Manager, Education and Community Relations, Canadian Olympic Committee, be inspired blogger

What I do for a living…
whether through program development, coaching , or teaching, every day I set out to develop and inspire youth through sport and physical activity.

Why I love what I do…
the opportunity to work for the Canadian Olympic Committee with a home games coming up and to use the Olympic Games to inspire youth to be their best on a daily basis gets my blood pumping.

If I could have dinner with anyone dead or alive, it would be
Nelson Mandela or, if he wasn’t free, dinner with Mohammad Ali would be fabulous. If anyone could hook this up I would let them borrow my bike; )

These are a few of my favourite things…
summer camp, hammocks, jumping off docks, laughing, friendly pranks, standing on a mountain top, playing, jumping into puddles, my bikes, sunsets, bathtubs, discovering new places, Dr. Seuss books, new socks and hugs.

My recipe for success…
keep the ones I love close, ask questions when I don’t understand, get outside to play as often as possible and get a good night’s sleep because tomorrow is soon.

Where I get my inspiration…
my family and friends around me. With their support and love I can dare to do anything I put my mind to and to become anything I want to become.
