KATIA BARTON - CLUB COACH
“Having been raised in a family that is very figure skating central, I’ve had a passion and love for skating since a very young age. I am proud to say that my love for this sport has only grown throughout the years. As a coach, I have been honored to be a part of our skaters learning and development journey. From witnessing a skaters first few steps on ice, to seeing pure joy and excitement when achieving a certain skill or personal goal, I am proud to be a part of any step throughout this beautiful and sometimes challenging journey.”
