Coaching Philosophy

First and foremost, I want all of my students to have fun and enjoy the training process while pursing their skating goals. My approach is kind but firm, and I believe there should always be mutual respect between coach and student.

Competitive Background

National Silver Medalist, five-time national competitor and three-time Eastern Sectional Champion. Triple gold medalist in U.S. Figure Skating (Figures, Freestyle, Moves in the Field).

Coaching Experience

I’ve been coaching in New York City for 20 years. I enjoy working with all age groups from first time tots to adults, with an emphasis on helping skaters achieve their testing and competition goals.

Most Memorable Sports Moment

When I was in middle school, I spent one summer training in Lake Placid with my coach. I had been working on my double axel for a while before the trip and I finally landed the perfect one in the 1980 “Miracle on Ice” Rink. I was ecstatic and landing it in a rink with such a storied past and history made the moment even more special.
