Prior to this she obtained a Bachelor of Science with a major in Health Science at Mount Royal University in Calgary. Alysia has always had a passion for pediatric rehab and has spent her entire career working in a variety of pediatric settings.

She recognizes not everyone learns the same way and she strives to be adaptable and flexible to meet her student’s needs.
“I want my students to know that I am here for them. I want them to feel comfortable coming to me for help and letting me know when things just aren’t making sense. They have worked so hard to get to this point, and together we will get them over the finish line!”Suggested course for students attempting the February 2024 Alberta Clinical exam.
