A Bit About Me...
I began figure skating lessons at the age of 7 in Ice Time Sports Complex's Learn to Skate Program. When I first stepped onto the ice, I fell in love. I went on to skate competitively for ten years, ending my competitive track at 17 before leaving for college. During my ten years as a competitive skater, I participated in various competitions in the tri-state area, including Regional competitions. I trained in numerous facilities, like Ice House of New Jersey, Skylands Ice Arena, Danbury Ice Arena, and more. There I trained with multiple Olympic leveled coaches and received many different perspectives. By the end of high school, I achieved landing all of my triple jumps (excluding triple Axel...but maybe one day!) and tested up to Senior in both Freestyle and Moves in the Field.
During my college years at SUNY New Paltz, I worked full-time at the ice rink, but I focused mainly on coaching. I started teaching private lessons my first semester in college and decided to major in Digital Media Management to help my already growing business. With the help of some very supportive professors, I learned a bunch of tools to help my coaching business really bloom.
I graduated with my Bachelor's in 2018 with Digital Media Management as my major (and Film Studies as my minor!). I earned a space in the Lambda Pi Eta National Communications Honor Society and graduated with Magna Cum Laude. Afterward, I had the chance to commit to my coaching career fully and haven't looked back since.

I am a Double Gold Medalist in Freestyle and Moves in the Field, Learn to Skate USA, USFSA and PSA Member, and Safe Sport Certified.
