"I started skating Precision almost at the same time I started Ice Skating, back in 1991, and was lucky enough to have a very successful domestic synchro career, winning more than 10 National Championships in 16 years. Internationally, I was Captain of Team Australia at the first 5 World Synchro Championships, and later spent a season skating with French National team Les Zoulous. I am now a Synchro Coach in Melbourne, Australia and our Mixed Age team attended their first International Competitions in the 2017/2018 season."
What does synchronized skating mean to you?
"Synchro has been my life since childhood, and made me the person I am today. After an 8 year break at the end of my competitive career, I found my way back to the synchro community and endeavour to give young skaters today the same amazing opportunities I was afforded. Once a synchro skater, always a synchro skater! "
