My figure skating career began at age 3 in Toronto, Canada. I competed for 16 years and reached the Senior Silver Freeskate & Gold Dance level before starting my coaching career over 33 years ago. I am a Canadian certified coach with a SkateCanada National Level 2 certification in Singles and Dance.
After moving to Belgium in 2000, I was integrated into the Belgian Coaching System as a Trainer B based on my coaching education and experience. I began my Belgian teaching career in Leuven and over the past years, I have also coached in Heist op den Berg, Herentals, and Hasselt.
I presently instruct Competitive and Recreational skaters of all ages in both Dutch and English with a Canadian training philosophy focusing on age-appropriate development, life skills, and creating an everlasting love for the sport of figure skating.
