Eli Young

My name Eli and I am a recent graduate of the Kinesiology program at University of the Fraser Valley. I am  passionate about physical activity and helping others. I love being outside, which is reflected by my job history of coaching, refereeing, working at a golf course. Additionally,  I enjoy hiking, camping, skiing and biking. I am proud to say I recently completed my first triathlon. I am looking for a job where I can utilize both my physical abilities and help others.
