"Skating has been a part of my life since I was 3 years old and my mom took me to the outdoor rink in Pinehouse Lake, I've been on the ice ever since! I competed around Western Canada until an injury cut my competitive career but I was able to finish my Gold tests in 4 disciplines before I graduated. I have always loved helping younger skaters on the ice, I started as a PA in the CanSkate program which ignited the passion for coaching that I have today. I get to share the moments of triumph or heartbreak with my skaters and work with them to grow into well rounded athletes and people."
