Carmen Kinas

I have grown up my whole life in Calgary, AB and started golfing from a young age with my family. I went to university at MRU to become a school teacher. During my university career, I worked summers as a proshop assistant at Canyon Meadows. After graduation, I taught grades 5, 4, and best of all Kindergarten. I am currently so thrilled to be joining the golf industry, and especially excited to be starting my golf career back at Canyon Meadows!
