After many years away from figure skating, Suzanne rediscovered her love for the sport in 2003 when her own children
became involved in the Learn to Skate program. Suzanne started out teaching several classes per week, but
has since turned coaching into a full time profession. Suzanne truly believes that ice skating is a lifelong
sport and enjoys working with all skaters – recreational, test, and competitive - regardless of their age or personal
