Q: What are your skating goals, both short-term and long-term?
Short Term
I am excited to develop a lasting partnership based on mutual respect, trust, kindness, a love for skating and shared goals including competition at invitational, national, and international events. I am a quick learner with choreography and am excited to perform new and creative ideas. I am looking for a long-term partner who is passionate, committed, driven and excited to compete at the senior level. I am also interested in international partnerships.
Long Term
My long-term goal is to compete with an eye on the Olympics & international competition. I would be honored to compete both nationally and internationally. My long-term goal is to develop my skills as a future coach and help inspire young skaters to love the sport as much as I do.
Q: What qualities do you possess that would make you a good partner?
I am dedicated and hardworking. I train In Novi, MI., take ballet, off-ice strength training, Pilates, and ballroom. I am flexible in scheduling and excited to spend quality time at the rink working with the right partner. I have good musical timing, am a good listener, have a quirky-fun sense of humor and positive attitude. I have fun on the ice while training hard.
Extra comments:
I attended the USFSA Chesapeake Ice Dance Camp for four years. Most recently, I have proudly represented New Zealand at the Junior and Senior level in Italy, Croatia, Germany, New Zealand and the USA. In addition to my experience in Ice Dance, I competed for 4 years in ISI Couples and Team Compulsory, and before that, 5 years as a USFSA solo skater. I also have experience through participation in ice shows, Skate for a Cure and assisting with the Gliding Stars Adaptive Skating Program. I coach LTS and solo with the goal of nurturing fun and a love for skating for the next generation of skaters.
Fun Fact: I am a cat person who enjoys sailing, science, gourmet cooking, electro swing music, video games, and Fettuccine Alfredo. Additional Video: https://fb.watch/jpxLHz3JDq/
