My Coaching Story
I began skating at the age of 4 in Greensboro, North Carolina. I am a Double Gold Medalist in Moves in the Field and Freestyle. I was the 2012 Eastern Great Lakes Regional Bronze Medalist at the Junior level and a 2012 Midwestern Sectional Championships competitor.
My past coaches include Nicole Gaboury, Master Rated Moves in the Field & Program Director, Denise Williamson, ISU Championship Singles Technical Specialist & Master Rated Moves in the Field and Free Skate coach, Mary Anne Williamson, Master Rated Free Skate coach, and 2006 Olympian, Valérie Marcoux-Pavlas.
With 20+ years of skating and coaching experience, I specialize in Free Skate, Moves in the Field, Choreography, and Video Analysis, as well as Off-Ice Conditioning. I love coaching everyone from beginners to competitive skaters. My favorite thing in the world is helping others find the same lifelong love of skating that I have!
