Bio: With over 20 years of experience on the ice, I bring a unique blend of elite competitive background, professional coaching expertise, and genuine passion for helping skaters of all ages achieve their goals. As a US Figure Skating National Coach, a former competitive and national figure skater, and an alumn of both the Liberty University Synchronized Skating Team and the Liberty University Figure Skating Team, I understand the dedication, discipline, and artistry it takes to excel in this sport. I am also a certified Learn to Skate USA coach, teaching everyone from beginners taking their first glide to competitive athletes fine-tuning jumps. In addition, I hold Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certification through the American Heart Association, ensuring a safe and supportive training environment at all times. Coaching Style & Philosophy I am known for encouraging yet detail-oriented approach, combining technical precision with a love for artistry and performance. I tailos lessons to each skater’s goals—whether that’s mastering basic skills, improving competitive scores, or developing synchronized skating teamwork. My philosophy centers around building strong foundations in edge quality, balance, and timing, while also fostering creativity, confidence, and resilience. Lesson Format Private Lessons: Focused, one-on-one instruction covering technique, choreography, spins, jumps, and performance skills. Group Lessons: Skill-based drills, edge work, and small performance projects to encourage teamwork and motivation. Competition Preparation: From music selection and choreography to mental preparation and polishing program components. Off-Ice Training: Strength, flexibility, and conditioning sessions to enhance on-ice performance. With a lifelong love for skating and a proven track record of developing athletes, I am committed to helping every skater find joy, confidence, and excellence on the ice.
