2021-2022 Season Wrap-Up
What an incredible season!
Reflecting on this past year, I'm amazed at what we were all able to accomplish. Many skaters were focusing on testing until we were pleasantly surprised with the return of competitions this spring!
I made the tough decision to retire from competitive skating to focus on the progression and development of my skaters. I'm so proud of the resiliency that they have embodied: being able to switch gears to prepare competitive programs in just a few months - while still continuing their test preparations!
Even skaters that did not test or compete this season have all made incredible progress toward their respective goals. I am proud of each and every one of you - you have displayed incredible dedication to your skating.
While the accomplishments of my skaters mean more to me than my own, I would be remiss if I did not mention my own accomplishments:
