Personal Message:

"As a practicing Speech - Language Pathologist, the rink has become my creative outlet where I can continue to share my love of dance with my skaters. I strive to instill in my skaters important lessons that can be used long after their skating days are done. It is a pleasure to be a part of their lives and watch them grow in both their skating skills and as young adults.”
