       1.   What is your favourite part of your job? 
       Being able to empower my patients to take charge of their health and play an active role in their                                             rehabilitation  /treatment.

       2.  What is your favourite part of the body to treat?
         As the wise Chubbs used to say, “It’s all in the hips”

      3.  What is your favourite sport to do/play?             
       Though I have many years of competing in Kettlebell Sport under my belt, I’ve taken a big liking to climbing                     (mainly bouldering) in recent years and I am completely hooked!  

​       4.   Have you ever needed sports medicine or therapy?
       You don't play sports to a high level without ever needing therapy!  I sustained a minor back injury from                             Kettlebell Sport while in undergrad and visited my chiropractor that I hadn't seen in a few years - she fixed me               up, and that's how I decided to enroll in chiropractic school.
 
       5.   If you could sing one song on American Idol, what would it be?
      ”Turn the Page” from Bob Seger, BUT it must be the Metallica version.  Obviously. 
 
       6.   If you were a crayon in a Crayola box, what colour would you be and why?
       Green, more specifically color code 8cc145.  Yes, I’m a precise person.
 
       7.   What cartoon character best represents you?
       Popeye the sailor man, because of his excellent grip strength, made spinach cool for kids, loves his wife, and has           questionable vocabulary skills.
