It was very apparent to me early in the process that Carla is a problem solver with a very collaborative attitude. Taekwondo Canada will benefit greatly from her experience and skills at creating winning management teams. I am looking forward to great strides in building those winning teams within all aspects of our Taekwondo Community such as volunteers, staff, board, coaches, referees, high performance or recreational. She is going to be able to assist us in creating that positive environment in which teams can thrive and grow to their potential.

I look forward to working with the Taekwondo community.”
