Please enjoy this incredibly adorable video of my skater Ava and I who has turned into a fabulous competitive figure skater whom has competed against my current team of athletes.
I have been incredibly fortunate to work with many skaters on the autism spectrum. Supporting them in achieving their goals and pursuing their passion for skating brings me immense joy and inspiration. The experience of working with children with special needs has truly been a remarkable journey for me.
Professional Background:
Previously, I had the privilege of a working as Independence Facilitator aide with the San Juan Capistrano Unified School District in Orange County, Southern California. It was during this time that I discovered my passion for working with elementary and middle school-aged children, which I have since channeled into my coaching.
Current Role:
I am currently involved with the Adaptive PE program at Oakland Ice, working with students every Wednesday through the Oakland School Districts. I absolutely love my job, coaching and working with kids! ❤️💯
