In her off time, Chiara enjoys a lot of physical activities especially anything to do with triathlons.  She volunteers as a triathlon coach for the team in training section of the leukemia and lymphoma society.

Inspirations

Chiara Singh

I have always been an active person, in love with sports and physical activity. My mom was an X-ray tech and she always stressed to me that there was nothing more exciting and fulfilling then working in a hospital. When I was in Grade 9, my best friend was diagnosed with bone cancer. She spent a lot of time in hospital and actually had to have part of her humerus removed. I often visited her in hospital and this is what really inspired me to become a physiotherapist. What better job can there be then to help someone recover and go back to the activities that really define who they are
