My story
I started skating at the age of five in Saint Petersburg, Russia. I was selected for the Olympic Reserve program in my city and began my singles career under Alla Pyatova, (herself a student of the legendary Igor Moskvin). From there, I was invited to train with Olympic champion Oleg Vasiliev, and later, Tamara Moskvina and Igor Moskvin found the perfect partner for me and called me into their group to represent the Russian national team.
After my competitive career, I stepped into the world of professional ice shows and traveled across half the globe. I performed with some of the most renowned productions, including Imperial Ice Stars, Europa Park and prestigious Willy Bietak Production on Royal Caribbean. There, I was promoted to Ice Captain — a role that shaped me as a performer and a leader. I carry deep gratitude for the entire Willy Bietak team for the experience and for a brilliantly bright chapter of my life. I am especially thankful for the opportunity to work with world-famous choreographers such as Sarah Kawahara and Christopher Nolan. A piece of my heart will always be at sea, in Studio B 🤍
Coaching has been a part of my life from a very young age. I started working as a coach at 14, assisting my first teacher Alla Pyatova in Saint Petersburg during breaks between shows and tours. Over the years, I was invited as a Head Coach and Technical Specialist for the Turkish National Team summer training camp, as well as to lead various master classes around the world. Teaching has always been my quiet constant, even during the busiest performing seasons.
Now, I bring all of that — the Russian Olympic tradition, the competitive fire, the showmanship — to my skaters here in Miami. Every lesson I give carries a little piece of that journey.
