Emma brings over a decade of experience in figure skating and learn-to-skate instruction. Originally from Powell River, she began volunteering as a Program Assistant in 2011 and has since coached with both the Powell River Figure Skating Club and Powell River Minor Hockey’s First and Second Shift programs.
She is a Skate Canada-trained CanSkate Coach and is currently completing her next level of certification as a Regional Coach, which qualifies instructors to work with STARSkate athletes. Emma is passionate about helping skaters of all ages and abilities build strong fundamentals in a fun, supportive environment. She has worked with children as young as three and has experience supporting skaters with diverse learning needs.

As an adult skater herself, Emma competed at the 2025 Vancouver Island Region Championships, where she earned 1st place in the Silver Women Free Skate event — bringing both recent competitive experience and athlete insight to her coaching.
