I began my coaching career in Melfort in Sept. of 1981. I have coached in Saskatoon since Sept of 1983. I’m a Western Canadian Champion and a National Medalist in Pairs. I’m a provincial medalist and champion in many singles categories, representing our province at Canada Winter Games and Western Canadians up to the level of a Junior Lady.

I have had the privilege of guiding many skaters to being provincial champions and medalists. Many have represented our province at Westerns/Challenge, Saskatchewan Games, and Canada Games. I have attended Canadians in Senior Pairs and singles as a coach. Presently, two former students are enjoying careers with Disney On Ice as Principal skaters and line captain. I’m proud to have assisted many skaters in their college submissions, and reference letters.

I’m so grateful to help ALL of my skaters achieve their goals!! I have coached adults, recreation, competitive, beginners and hockey players, with commitment and pleasure! I’m proud of all of their accomplishments and growth in sport. I’m especially proud to watch them grow as a person because of sport!!
