Kamini brings to her coaching more than two decades of success as both an athlete and coach.  The cornerstone of her approach is born from a devotion to sprint kayaking which included nine years on the Canadian National Team, 11 World Cup medals and berths in two Olympic finals (2000 and 2004).   She retired from the National Canoe-Kayak Team after the Athens Olympics in 2004.  In other paddling disciplines she has enjoyed much success as a member of winning crews at the 2006 World Club Crew Dragon Boat Championships, the 2007 and 2009 World Dragon Boat Championships, the 2008 World Sprint Outrigger Championships (V-6) and top 10 positions in 4 Molokai OC-6 crossings.  Kamini’s inspiration to keep competing at a high standard is, in part, to keep her on the cutting edge of coaching techniques.  Kamini sees sport as a way for people to expand their boundaries, to set no limits, and to gain a sense of worth that comes from proving one’s physical strength and mental discipline.  Her coaching objective is to encourage paddlers to set ambitious goals and provide them with the tools to perform their absolute best and fulfill their objectives.  She has had success in this, coaching the False Creek Racing Canoe Club’s Men’s and Mixed Premier Dragon Boat Teams to 8 international medals since 2006.  At the 2008 World Outrigger Sprints she had her debut as Canadian Coach, leading a talented team which recorded a best-ever performance with 15 medals. Kamini is currently the head coach of the FCRCC High Performance Dragon Boat Program, coach of the 2010 Canadian Sprint Outrigger Team, coaching advisor to Abreast in a Boat and coach of Chilliwack dragon boat team, Sudden Impact Black.  Kamini works with teams and individuals striving for international or more local pursuits by providing coaching, consulting, clinics or training programs.
