Coaching Philosophy
"My coaching philosophy is centered on helping skaters unlock their full potential, both on and off the ice. I strive to foster a love for figure skating by creating an environment that encourages passion, perseverance and enjoyment. I believe that learning how to set meaningful goals and working towards achieving them is essential not only for success in skating but also for personal growth. By guiding my skaters through this process, I hope to instill in them a sense of accomplishment, resilience and confidence that extends beyond the rink."
