I am proud to be a member of the Stouffville Skating Club since 1971 that has included a competitive skating career along with being a certified figure skating coach.
 I started my figure skating journey at the age of six, with Stouffville as my home skating club, along with the Unionville Skating club (years later), until I was 17.  In 1994, I returned to Stouffville to coach this amazing sport, along with the benefits of being with my daughters that were also members the Stouffville Skating Club.
I have completed my Level One and my Level Two Technical and Theory components,  along with my certification as  Skate Canada Power skating coach; Skate Canada is the only association that has a certification in Power Skating.
I enjoy keeping up to date with the figure skating world by attending regular coaching seminars and workshops run by Skate Canada-Central Ontario section. 

My mission is to promote fitness, confidence and a love for the sport in a positive and rewarding way.
