I grew up on ice in Greenville, South Carolina. I have been skating for over 15 years and have been able to have several different opportunities involving skating. In my competitive career, I am a 4-time Gold Medalist in Gold Moves in the Field, Gold Solo Dance, Senior Free Dance, and Gold Partner Dance. As well as testing 2 international dances. After leaving the competition world, I found my passion for teaching because of my love for kids. As a certified Learn to Skate USA instructor, I taught LTS at the Pavilion for several years and then dove into private lessons. I grew up with a dad and brother who shared a love for skating through hockey, and after my competitive years of power skating training, I found a new love for hockey and the importance of learning how to skate and build power, and apply it to figure skating and hockey skills. I have now completed training with Katy Jo, and serve as a Katy Jo Power Skating Certified Coach. No matter the skill level, age, or skating content, my goal is to grow my students' knowledge of their sport and the importance of technique in order to give them the tools they need to be successful while enjoying and growing their passion. While I have a love for skating, if I am not at the rink, you will find me on the golf course. As I left the competitive world of Figure Skating, I entered the competitive world of golf, as I am now a collegiate golfer at Anderson University.
