Destiny is a Victoria born and raised Tsawout First Nation. As she completes her PhD in Kinesiology in Western Australia she continues to carve the path for runners & ensure more focus is given to women and Indigenous populations in research than currently is.
Working with ACCEL she’s able to bring more credible information to fill the gaps and make our communities stronger & more resilient.
Destiny has been coaching for our runners for 3 years & loves helping beginner runners stride towards their goals in a methodical and attainable way!
