Linda moved from London, England to Canada when she was 13, to train with Olympic Dance Bronze Medalist Jon Lane and British Dance Bronze Medalist Carol (Long) Lane. That same year, Linda won Pre-Novice Free Skate and Novice Dance at Sectionals, and placed fourth at the Canadian Championships in Novice Dance. The following year she was runner up for Junior Worlds in Dance. Linda then decided to focus on Dance only and began competing in England at age 16. At her last British Championships she placed fifth. Taking one more crack at the Canadian Championships, she placed eleventh. Linda has had the opportunity to train in Oberstdorf, Germany on the same schedule as Isabelle and Paul Duschenay and Jane Torvill and Christopher Dean. In addition to twelve years of competitive skating and 15+ years of coaching, Linda has completed her Gold tests in both Dance and Free Skate, Novice Competitive Free Skate, Senior Competitive Dance and has completed Level II Dance and General. In addition, she has taught and partnered students to their Gold Free Skate and Dance including the Diamond Dances and has worked with several dance teams. Her love is dance and choreography and she looks forward to bringing her extensive experience to EG and her students.
