ABOUT ME
I began my career working in healthcare in cardiac rehabilitation. Following that, I pursued a career in education. I have worked as an elementary school teacher for 13 years. Most recently, I have served as a High School Health and Physical Education teacher.
​
COACHING PHILOSOPHY
My coaching philosophy centers on fostering a love for figure skating while emphasizing discipline, resilience, and personal growth. I aim to create a supportive and inclusive environment where athletes feel encouraged to pursue excellence. Through individualized training and positive reinforcement, I focus on developing both technical skills and mental fortitude. I believe in setting realistic goals, celebrating progress, and nurturing a balanced approach to competition and personal well-being. Ultimately, my goal is to inspire skaters to achieve their fullest potential and enjoy a lifelong passion for the sport.
