I believe that sport, and physical activity in general, stimulates growth and leads to improved physical and emotional health. Sport specifically aids in the social and psychological development of a person. Figure Skating requires self-discipline, perseverance, and determination; these skills can be applied to every aspect of a skater’s life.
I thoroughly enjoy working with skaters of all ages and levels, helping them reach their full potential and achieve their goals.

NCCP Level 2 certified in Singles, Level 3 theory
I strive to help skaters in developing their full potential and achieving their goals while making the learning process educational and enjoyable. Figure skating has been my passion since I was four years old. Having an athletic career in figure skating has taught me more than just spins and jumps. I have acquired skills that help me in my everyday life including discipline, dedication, time- management, fair play, hard work, and persistence to name just a few. I would like to pass on what I have learned through my experiences to my students.

First and foremost, is to infuse in all of my skaters, both young and the young at heart, an enthusiasm for skating. I believe that in order for my students to achieve their personal best, I need to have a consistent, positive, fun and encouraging approach. I focus on quality basics and techniques to provide my skaters with a solid background to achieve their future dreams and goals. I strive to provide my services to the best of my ability at all times, and I further believe that the “skating experience” offers life skills that transcend a person’s time on the ice. Skate For Life!
For the past 40 years, I’ve had the pleasure of coaching test skaters from Pre-Can Skate through to Gold level and competitive skaters from Pre-Juvenile to International levels. I’ve coached medalists in all disciplines and in all levels, including synchronized skating.
