Saisha absolutely loves skating and being on the ice! She began skating at three years old. As a PA, she hopes to inspire the young skaters to share her love for skating. “Being a PA teaches me responsibility and gives me a sense of community. I really like working with the coaches.”
Outside of skating, Saisha plays the violin and loves to read, specifically the Harry Potter series. She loves to do adventurous things with her family such as zip lining, rock climbing and the ropes course. She also really likes to play with her little brother and make him laugh.
