A Little Bit About Me...My name is Nastassia Dzemyanovich (trying to pronounce it will not hurt you, I promise). I am a senior level ice skater from Belarus where I competed both nationally and internationally (as a member of National Olympic Team in 2000-2001) for over 12 years. Since 2006 I consulted multiple junior level ice skaters from Belarus/Russia, and served as a Technical Specialist for all Belarusian national competitions and championships. In 2012 I was appointed a Technical Specialist for Non-Qualifying competitions in the US as well, and served on a technical panel at many USFS events in the area. I have been a coach with Seattle Skating Club/Washington Ice Skating Association since 2011, and recently became a professional member of Everett Figure Skating Club and Kraken Skating Academy as well. I am also one of the few Russian-speaking coaches in the Pacific Northwest. I hold a Master of Arts Degree in Linguistics and Education, as well as Master of Business Administration in International Business. In addition to my full-time job in HR at a biotechnology company, I enjoy myself teaching professional and recreational ice skating students of all ages and skillsets, including junior and adult hockey players, and regularly conduct off-ice conditioning sessions for all athletes.
