SUMMARY

 


My figure skating background (four years competitively as a youth at Lake Placed and the University of Delaware, and as an adult since 2004) with over a decade of coaching, has provided experience that enables me to be able to coach a skater to achieve his or her top performance. I have worked with phenomenal skating coaches and choreographers to include Gustave Lussi, Priscilla Hill, Jeffrey DiGregorio, LeeAnn Miller, Jill Cosgrove, Tiffany Hyden-Dombeck, Ryan Jahnke, & Christy Krall.  Because of their excellent influences on me as a skater and a professional, I love continuing those qualities on to other skaters and encourage the development of their athletic best as well as being a well-rounded individual. With my passion for skating, my love for music and dance, and knowledge of the athletic body in motion, I can be an asset to your figure skating needs as a choreographer, coach, and trainer. I’m highly dedicated and disciplined with my career in maintaining professionalism and charisma.

Due to over a generation of experience within the art of movement, I would be able to instruct and choreograph a performer/skater to fulfill any objective desired.  I have choreographed numerous figure skating (singles, ice dance) and various dance (jazz, hip-hop, street) routines in several regions of the US.  I am able to adjust quickly to any field of movement within sports, art, or entertainment. 

My choreographic/coaching experience listed below involves:  Choreography & Style, Freeskate, Moves-in-the-Field, Showcase, Theatre on Ice, Power, Group, Dance (Hip-Hop, Street, Jazz), Music (Routine) Editing, Off-ice & Fitness Conditioning, and Sports Programming.  I am a Level III Ranked, PSA Rated: Senior Moves In the Field, Certified Freeskate, & Registered Group, Category A National & International  Coach / Choreographer, and Core & Functional Training Specialist.  I am a member of USFS & FiTour, and am First Aid / CPR Certified.

As well as a qualified skating professional, I am fully capable and accredited to manage and operate an athletic program or division within the sport of figure skating for all disciplines (ex. Singles, Ice Dance/Pairs, Theatre On Ice, Synchronized Skating, Group-Learn To Skate, Power, & Off-ice Conditioning).  My experience below will describe further detail of such tasks and responsibilities I have accomplished.  In addition, I have obtained a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from the University of Texas in Austin, Texas; majoring in Sport Management, with a minor in Theatre & Dance.
