Junior Board Candidates
All candidates for the SDFSC Junior Board Executive Committee are listed below alphabetically by the last name.
I have been an SDFSC member just for this past year, after returning to skating from a persisting foot injury. Resultantly, I haven’t had many opportunities to be involved in the club yet, however, I look forward to being a more active member as I further my experience in skating and philanthropy.
As someone who is passionate about figure skating and committed to the sport, I believe that I possess several qualities that would be valuable to the SDFSC Junior Board. My prior and current involvement in several student-run nonprofit organizations has allowed me the experience of giving back to the community and exposure to effective ways of doing so. I have a strong work ethic and a positive attitude, which allows me to take ownership of tasks and contribute to the success of the Junior Board. I am committed to making a positive impact and am willing to put in the time and effort required to achieve goals, along with possessing the aptitude to collaborate with others toward achieving a common goal. I am also committed to learning and growing, and I am always open to new ideas and perspectives, which enable me to adapt to the changing outlooks of the SDFSC Junior Board. Furthermore, I have excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, which enable me to effectively engage with other skaters, club members, and coaches. I have a deep passion for figure skating and a strong desire to share my knowledge and skills with others. Overall, I believe that my experience, dedication, communication skills, and teamwork are all qualities that I can bring to the SDFSC Junior Board. I look forward to gaining the experience of running a nonprofit and giving back to the community!
The involvement I have had in the San Diego Figure Skating Club is…Bubble Run 2022, Donated to the Holiday Food Drive 2022, Volunteered at the test session, Volunteered at rink competitions, Member of SDFSC Shining Blades 2019-2023, Currently on Team Del Sol 2023-2024.
Commitment and curiosity are what I want to bring to the Jr Board. I did not know a Jr Board existed at SDIA until just recently. I bet other young student-athletes don’t know either. I want to show COMMITMENT to the board and share with other CURIOUS young athletes that the Jr Board is a fun place to support the SDFSC and SDIA.
My Name is Sadie Fischer, I am 15 years old and a sophomore at Canyon Crest Academy High School. I am applying for the position of Secretary.
There are a multitude of reasons why I would love to be a part of the committee. First, for a long time now I have been looking to have a more substantial impact on my ice skating. While I have been skating for a while now, almost 6 years, I mostly have only been able to really help myself and my friends in a surface-level way. If I were on the committee I would be able to make impactful changes to my ice skating community, a community which I hold dear to my heart. Also, being able to hold a position would allow me to see what goes into the infrastructure behind the ice rinks, a really fascinating aspect. This is especially interesting to me as organizations that run programming are something that I am passionate about, as I have held multiple positions in youth organizations, such as spirit and membership positions in BBYO and vice president of my school’s National History Day branch. One reason why I would specifically like to hold of position of secretary is it would allow me to hold a position and see everything in action without making the biggest decisions on the board. I believe this would benefit me and the rest of the board, as I would not have held a board position previously. I also would like to be the secretary as it would be in direct communication with the San Diego Figure Skating Club’s Membership chair, a position that would be interesting to work hand in hand with as in my youth organization at the moment I am the head of membership. Due to the reasons listed above I would like to volunteer for the Junior Board Secretary Position. Thank you for considering my application.

A unique quality that I can bring to the Junior Board is passion. Not only do I absolutely love ice skating; but I’m also passionate about helping the San Diego Figure Skating Club. I’ve been on the Junior Board for the past 2 years now. I was really disappointed with how inactive the board was last year and my goal is to revive it and unite the club. I have several ideas such as candy grams, spirit day freestyle sessions, and team-building activities. SD Ice is like my second home. As President, I’d love to see it thrive with activity and friendship.
I have been a San Diego Figure Skating Club member for almost 10 years. I have taken MITF tests up to senior, and also a few freeskate tests. I have also volunteered at many skating competitions at SDIA. Additionally, I am part of the Team Del Sol Open-Juv team this season.
I would like to be part of the Junior Board this year because I believe it will be a great experience and opportunity to get to meet younger skaters part of SDFSC. If I am on the Junior Board, my main goal would be to host more club events where members of all ages can get involved and get to know each other. Some qualities that I would bring to the Junior Board include organization, commitment and perceptiveness. From experiences with other extracurricular activities, I have learned that commitment is very important in order to build trust with others who you work with. I will be committed to helping with events that could bring our club members closer together. I look forward to having a fun experience as a junior board member and getting to meet more skaters!
After being a member of SDFSC for more than 5 years, I have witnessed the cohesiveness, responsibility, and hard work that defines the Junior Board from personal and first-hand experiences. From being an Alpha-level skater at SDIA to being a committed SDFSC competitive-level skater, I have been involved in the club’s numerous competitions, exhibitions, Christmas shows, and competition team events over the course of these years. These club activities have helped me gain a clear insight into the caring and inclusive community SDFSC’s Junior Board fosters for its members, which I hope to continue to reflect as an SDFSC competitor and Junior Board member.
As someone who enjoys nurturing positive community impact through group communication, I bring a creative, positive, and inclusive mindset into the discussion. With my experience of balancing competitive-level skating and dance with rigorous academic studies for more than 7 years, I understand the types of responsibilities it requires to not only fulfill multiple tasks but also how to complete them with attention and care. As someone who loves to perform, I transform my creative expression into a voice that speaks for the needs and opinions of large groups of people. Additionally, I have always had a strategic way of thought towards challenges, allowing me to navigate through hardship and complex situations, skills all necessary for any position on the Junior Board.
As a figure skater for 9+ years and a member of the San Diego Figure Skating Club for 6 years, I have gained extensive experience in the field of figure skating for both solo and synchronized skating. I understand that the sport can be very stressful but also very rewarding. As a Junior Board executive, I would support young, up-and-coming skaters by sharing training and competition experiences and how to prevent sports injuries. To create a more positive environment at the rink, I would also organize more club-wide fun events that allow club members to build relationships with each other.
Moreover, I have held multiple leadership positions in the past, such as the co-founder and co-president of my school club and the second violin principal in a pre-professional orchestra. I am confident that my experience as a figure skater, a leader, and a loyal member of the San Diego Figure Skating Club will allow me to help the club and its members as a Junior Board executive.
