Linda’s Coaching Philosophy: To foster the relationships that allow our skaters to set goals, take risks, challenge themselves and develop athleticism, artistry and mental toughness while nurturing a love for the ice and all the opportunities it brings.

Linda joined White Rock South Surrey Skating Club the same year that we opened! She trained as a young skater, participated in our Carnivals and competed.

Linda began her coaching career in 1981 and after teaching at a few clubs around our province and the lower mainland, she returned to coach at our amazing club in 1986.

Linda believes in creating an inclusive, happy and safe environment for our skaters.

Linda is also an Inclusive Educational Support Worker with the Surrey Board of Education and is trained in various exercises - Licensed Zumba instructor, Licensed Strong Nation Instructor, Licensed TRX instructor, Certified Alixa Flexibility Training and Certified Group Fitness instructor.
