Coaching Philosophy:
My philosophy is rooted in developing the whole athlete—on and off the ice. I believe in crafting personalized, progressive training that helps skaters build confidence, resilience, and purpose through clear goals and consistent support. Trust, communication, and mutual respect are at the core of my relationships with athletes and families.

As a coach, I am committed to creating a positive and empowering environment where skaters feel valued, heard, and challenged to reach their full potential. It is my mission to not only support high performance, but to help young athletes become strong, self-aware individuals who carry the life lessons of skating far beyond the rink.
