Catherine decided to pursue a career in physiotherapy because of her involvement in sports and dance as a youth. She completed her General Science degree at the University of British Columbia in 2000 and went on to obtain a physiotherapy degree from the University of Alberta in 2004. Since then she has been working in private practice and work conditioning programs in Calgary and Kamloops.

Catherine has taken several continuing education courses since completing her physiotherapy program. In the winter of 2006 Catherine traveled to Australia to take postgraduate studies at Curtin University. She completed an intensive one-month course, earning her Certificate in Orthopedic Manual Therapy (COMT) and hopes to extend this education by working to complete her Masters degree in Manual Therapy. She is also interested in needling techniques such as acupuncture and IMS therapy, which she will incorporate into her continuing education plans for the next few years.

In her spare time Catherine enjoys hiking, biking, skiing and spending time outside in the beautiful Kamloops sunshine!
