Ernest graduated from the University of Manitoba with a Masters of Physical Therapy Degree in 2018 and a Bachelor of Kinesiology Degree in 2015. He's excited and keen to be part of our team.
During the Physical Therapy program, Ernest had the opportunity to contribute to the physiotherapy profession by taking on many leadership roles. Ernest was elected the Vice-President of the College of Rehabilitation Sciences Students’ Association in his first year of the program and President in his second year.

When he is not outdoors, Ernest can be found playing musical instruments, especially the piano, and he occasionally daydreams of his next traveling adventure.
