SKATING NOTES
Began skating because her mom wanted to take skating lessons, so she put Jessica in Learn to Skate while she was on the ice ... Loves the feeling of gliding on the ice and hearing the crisp noise her blade makes when she does a deep edge. Loves how skating makes her feel like she's floating through the air and how the sport has helped her learn to be patient with herself and be more resilient in her day to day life.
PERSONAL NOTES
Parents are Olga and Brian Jurka ... Hobbies include reading, playing the piano, painting and hanging out with friends ... Loves helping during Learn to Skate classes since that's how she started in the sport ... Would like ot become a sports psychologist.
