She has had skaters earn Regional medals, compete at the Midwest Sectional Championships, and choreographed for National level skaters.

She enjoys starting with skaters in basic skills and later working with them to land their first, second or third triple jumps!

She later became a Michigan High School State Champion, EGL Regional Champion, Pacific Coast Sectional Champion, and a 2-time Junior National Competitor in singles, 3-time National competitor in pairs, and a 3-time National Medalist at the Collegiate Synchronized Skating Championships.

She believes training can teach a lot of life lessons that can be used outside of the rink, and that the journey should be fun and rewarding!
