​

I have been coaching for 11 years and am regional certified but working towards achieving my provincial certification.  I am also CanPower Certified.  Away from the rink, I have completed my Bachelors of Education specializing in Elementary Education.  I am currently teaching grade 4 in Clavet. As a skater, I have accomplished my Gold Freeskate Dance and Skills.  I spent 10 years on Skate Canada Saskatchewan's High Performance Team. My coaching philosophy is that skating has given me so much that I want to give back through the power of instruction.  I coach with energy, honesty and excitement.  I strive to provide a safe space for children to be themselves while ensuring work ethic and positive self worth that lasts a lifetime. 

My skating career started at the Clavet Skating Club where I developed a love for the sport!  I started coaching to share my passion for skating with others.  Throughout my years with the club, I have had the opportunity to develop life long friendships, memories, and skating achievements.  During my time as a skater, I successfully passed two Gold level tests.  Now, as a coach, I am Regional Certified.  Away from the rink, I am currently in my fourth and final year of completing my Crop Science degree at the University of Saskatchewan.
