Coaching Philosophy:
I believe that a strong foundation in the basics of skating skills is key to the development of every athlete. I feel that coaching should be a collaborative experience for the skater and it is important to involve them in their development. I strive to make skating a fun, and rewarding experience no matter if the skater is learning how to glide or perform at the world level.
