Holly Stiel -  Social Media Manager

My name is Holland Stiel, and I am originally from Okotoks Alberta, but I moved away to British Columbia to pursue my soccer career at one of the tops soccer programs in Canada. I have been competing at high level with soccer now for more than 15 years.  

When I am not playing soccer, I am a full-time student, I am a second-year kinesiology student at Trinity Western University. I have a great passion for the outdoors and sports. Something I love about being a social media manager is not just about creating content but engaging with the community and building relationships.
