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 and Junior Club Coach through USFSA with 5 years of coaching experience while I was previously with the club.

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 and found my true passion in raising cattle and began working for Equity Livestock Sales. I currently have my own herd of beef cattle and adorable calves! 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.
