Hi, my name is Brittany Stelter. I skated at the club for 11 years before moving away for college and traveling for work. Before leaving the club, I passed my Intermediate Moves in the Field and my Juvenile Free Skate. I hope to continue to compete as an adult and advance my skills while helping other skaters achieve their goals as well. I am a licensed Learn to Skate, Junior Club and Senior Club Coach through USFSA with 7 years of coaching experience.

I graduated from UW-Platteville with a Civil Engineering degree emphasis in Structural Engineering and spent a few years underwater diving and rope access climbing to inspect bridges all over the USA. Recently I came back to the area to become the Assistant Commissioner of Dunn County Highway Department. I also have a photography business and love capturing precious moments in life and nature.

I hope to help each and every skater reach for their dreams to become the best skater they can be. I have unique ways to look at each and every skill to make them fun while still perfecting the basics. Please feel free to text or call me at (715) 944-9146 or email me at bstelter22@gmail.com.
