SUMMARY

 


My own figure skating background (four years competitively as a youth at the University of Delaware and as an adult since 2004) and several years coaching, has provided experience that enables me to be able to instruct a skater to achieve his or her top performance. I have worked with superfluous skating coaches and choreographers such as Gustave Lussi, Priscilla Hill, Jeffrey DiGregario, LeeAnn Miller, Jill Cosgrove, Ryan Jahnke & Christy Krall.  Because of their excellent influences on me as a skater and a professional, I would love to continue 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 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, pairs) and various dance (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 experience listed below involves:  Choreography of Skating (Freestyle, Pairs, 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 Freestyle, & Registered Group Coach/Choreographer.  I am a member of USFS, IFPA, FiTour, and 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, dance/pairs, Theatre On Ice, synchronized skating, & group-Learn To Skate).  My experience below will describe further detail of such tasks and responsibilities I have succeeded.  In addition, I have obtained a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology degree from University of Texas in Austin, Texas; majoring in Sport Management, with a minor in Theatre & Dance.
