Danielle Napier

Personal Profile:

Since beginning my love affair with figure skating at the age of 3, this sport continues to play an important part in my life. When my time on the competitive circuit concluded, I felt compelled to pass on my experiences and skills to those that were similarly passionate about the sport. Consequently, I joined the Morrisburg and District Skating Club (MDSC) during the 2003/2004 season.

 

During my time at MDSC I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know and work with the skaters of all ages and skill levels and enjoyed witnessing their development. Having a daughter who also loves skating has reinforced my desire to remain associated with this glorious sport and I look forward to many more years of coaching.

 

Along with coaching, I work part-time in Ottawa as a Dental Hygienist.
