“As a coach, I am devoted to bringing the best instruction that I can give to my students. I feel that my strength as a coach is the technical knowledge that I possess, as well as my competitive skating background. There is a place for everyone in skating world, and my duty as a coach is to help nurture and develop both on-ice skills and help teach valuable life lessons through this fantastic sport we all love. I promote respectful interactions between myself and others, I have effective interpersonal communication skills and I am highly dedicated to the sport of figure skating.”
