About Michelle

Originally from Winnipeg, Michelle spent her whole life involved in sport and physical activity, including dance, soccer, ultimate frisbee, track & field, and speed skating. She was an elite speed skater for 13 years, competed at 2011 and 2015 Canada Winter Games in short track and long track respectively, and trained at the National Training Centre at the Olympic Oval in Calgary for several years. After retiring from skating, she moved to Regina to complete her Bachelor of Kinesiology. She started working at Level 10 Fitness with the Admin team in 2017, and began coaching with the Regina Speed Skating Club. Since graduating with a major in Human Kinetics in 2021, she completed a post-grad internship with the University of Regina Athlete Health & Performance Institute, where she was part of the strength & conditioning staff for the Regina Rams, Cougars Soccer and Volleyball teams. She also trained two classes of police recruits from the Saskatchewan Police College, which expanded her interest into tactical strength training. Michelle was the Team Regina Head Coach for short track speed skating at the 2023 Saskatchewan Winter Games, and has coached alongside the Provincial Coach at national-level meets while developing her coaching portfolio. She loves coaching and skating, dancing, skiing, running, yoga, being outdoors, and is bilingual in English and American Sign Language.
