Melissa Davidson (Armstrong)

I have been a member of the MSC for 30+ years - first as a skater at the age of 5, then as a Program Assistant and now as a Coach. I started coaching in Millbrook when I was 19 (20+ years now). I have instructed skaters from the Pre-CanSkate to the STARskate level. I will be coaching StarSkate for the fall and winter session and assisting with other programs as needed.

As a full-time professional skating coach for over 35 years, Jody brings an extensive background in synchronized skating, choreography and edges/power/skating development. Jody has coached synchronized teams at the local, national and international level, with 9 national championships. As a leader in the sport, Jody has participated in numerous international coach/skater seminars. Her vision is to inspire young skaters to develop a love for synchronized skating. "At first you are a part of it, then it becomes a part of you."
