Ottawa

Summary

I am an enthusiastic and dedicated ski coach with over three years of coaching experience, along with experience in planning and leading activities for diverse age groups, including children and individuals with special needs. I have a background in coaching ski cross athletes ranging from ages 5 to 16, managing teams, communicating effectively with parents, and ensuring the long-term development of athletes. I am looking to apply my skills and passion for teaching skiing at the club which will put me in a position where I can further develop as a coach.
