About Me

I have been skating for sixteen years and competitively skating for the last five years. Three years ago I began coaching due to my love for skating and the desire to pass on my knowledge and skills.

The purpose of my program is to provide a fun, safe and noncompetitive atmosphere to individuals of all ages and abilities. When coaching students I possess a "you can attitude" along with providing constructive feedback and positive reinforcement. As a person increases their confidence anything is possible!

I provide lessons to children, adolescents and adults interested in freestyle skating, ice dancing and pairs. I also coach hockey players to improve speed, balance and agility.

Achievements:

Skills/Experience:
