Jessica Reese

Base Coach

I was born and raised in Hague, Sk. where my love for figure skating first began as a skater and also where my coaching career began! As a skater, I completed partial gold dance, senior silver skills, junior silver free skate, and bronze interpretive.

I have been coaching for 8 years, I am a Certified Regional Coach and am currently working towards my Provincial Coach Trained status. Over the past few years, I have been freelancing and substitute coaching out of Skate Saskatoon.

I currently reside in Martensville with my husband and our cat Ellie. Away from the ice I am a registered veterinary technologist and have worked in small animal hospitals for the past 4 years. I also am a part of the executive board and foster for SCAT Street Cat Rescue.

I am very excited to be a part of the coaching team within the club and to be working alongside everyone this season. I look forward to mentoring and motivating every skater to help reach their goals and share in the joy of skating!
