Kim has been a Canadian Board Certified Orthotist since 2011 and has a BSc degree in Human Kinetics, which she obtained at the University of Guelph in 2004. After some time spent travelling around the world and then volunteering with landmine survivors in Cambodia, Kim decided she wanted to pursue a career in prosthetics/orthotics. She graduated from the Clinical Prosthetics and Orthotics Program at George Brown College in 2009 and moved to Edmonton, Alberta to complete her 2 year Clinical Orthotics residency. Prior to Kim joining the V2innovations team in 2024, she spent 15 years working at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital in Edmonton. During that time she worked with pediatric, adult and geriatric populations and covered a wide range of pathologies and injuries. Throughout her career, she has been a member of various clinic teams including scoliosis, spina bifida, spasticity and head shape. Kim enjoys collaborating with other health professionals, being part of a team and connecting with her patients and their families. She always aims to identify her patients’ needs and to do her best to help them to achieve their orthotic-related goals.

Kirsten joined V2Innovations as a part-time summer student in 2018 with no knowledge of Prosthetics and Orthotics. Upon realizing that she enjoyed this field of work, she continued with V2Innovations as a summer student, until she completed her BSc in Biology from Concordia University in May 2021. Since then, she has worked with us full-time as an Orthotics and Prosthetics Assistant helping with the manufacturing of our assistive devices and assisting the office staff when needed. Kirsten is currently attending George Brown College and has completed her first year in the Clinical Methods in Orthotics/Prosthetics progam.

Chet spent more than 31 years in the Canadian Armed Forces and joined our team in September of 2023 on a Return to Duty program, which assists ill or injured Canadian Armed Forces members with integrating into a work routine geared towards their medical limitations. V2innovations was accepted as a partner to the Return to Duty program in 2023 and Chet was the second Canadian Armed Forces member introduced to the orthotics and prosthetics field at our clinic. Chet quickly developed a passion for working in the manufacturing process of orthotics and prosthetics, and is excited to be helping others in this unique working environment. Since his medical release in May of 2024, he has accepted a full time position as our O&P Technical Assistant.
