My name is Danielle and my hometown is Kitchener.  Growing up I participated in many activities including basketball, volleyball, soccer and rugby and I spent my high school years training competitively in judo.  My love for fitness developed through sport.  I pursued an honours degree in kinesiology co-op locally at the University of Waterloo.

I have always been involved in the health industry and I began as a judo instructor at the age of 16.  Through co-op, I have been able to work as a kinesiologist in a long term care facility, sports medicine clinic and a community health center.  Each placement posed different obstacles to health and fitness.  During such placements, I had the opportunity to train and rehabilitate severely mentally and physically handicapped adults, injured athletes and industrial workers, and special populations including those with diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.I hope to continue in the health profession as a physiotherapist.
