I started power skating with Platinum Star when I was 8 years old, and Gay and her team helped develop my love of skating. Their leading edge techniques made my skating efficient and explosive while making the lessons fun and motivating. Gay and Melanie helped me get through growth spurts and injuries over the years and used their expertise to keep my skating progressing. They have been my biggest supporters and have given me opportunities to give back by volunteer coaching and mentoring. I have learned so much from the Platinum Star team, not only about skating, but about the importance of loving what you do.
