Sharing my passion for figure skating with skaters of all levels brings me so much joy. I hope that my classical training and art of story telling on ice helps create a warm welcoming environment for skaters to express themselves.
Trained with the 2002 Russian Olympic Team including under Olympic coach Tatiana Tarasova, Olympic champion Alexei Yagudin, and Russian ice dancers Maya Usova & Evgeny Platov. I also trained with Israeli national ice dance champions Sergei Sakhnovski & Galit Chait.
I believe that everyone should enjoy skating no matter their goals!
