While working as a Registered Dietitian she is pursuing her master’s degree in counselling psychology from Yorkville University with the goal of becoming a Registered Clinical Counsellor here in B.C.

Kaitlyn grew up in Nanaimo playing on many high-level sports teams. After graduation Kaitlyn went on to play U Sport volleyball at Acadia University. Given her athletic background it is no surprise that she is wanting to continue to build that connection between nutrition and performance as a dietitian on the PRIME team.
