Michelle ran  a figure skating program in Philadelphia for 14 years and is a co-founder of the figure skating non-profit organization, Philly on Ice (Philly en Hielo, Inc).  She has been coaching group lessons and private lessons at Hollydell Ice Arena since 2017 and at Grundy Ice Arena since 2020.

Channely started skating recreationally in Philadelphia, PA in 2006. She quickly became enamored with the sport and was afforded the opportunity to participate in local shows and competitions at both recreational and professional levels. Realizing the opportunities she was afforded to be able to participate in such an inaccessible sport as a Hispanic/Latina woman, giving back to the community became a core value. As Channely is bilingual, providing a safe space for those whose first language is not English to learn the sport, has become one of her most coveted accomplishments. Channely started volunteering at her rink at 11 years old and fell in love with a completely different aspect of the sport; coaching. She enjoys coaching all skill levels, putting on shows/competitions, and being a mentor and friend to her students. Channely has a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice and Psychology from The Pennsylvania State University and is currently pursuing Law School. Her pursuit in giving back to the community extends far beyond the rink.  

Maggie Reilly is a professional ice skating coach from Southern New Jersey. She began figure skating at 10 years old after attending an ice skating birthday party, and quickly fell in love with the sport. She participated in countless shows and competitions over the years, and began volunteering with her home rink's Learn to Skate program at 13 years old. At age 17, she began taking on her own group classes and eventually turned to teaching private lessons as well. She enjoys teaching skaters of all ages, levels, and disciplines ranging from beginners to advanced, and free skating to skating skills. In 2018, she became involved with what is now known as Philly on Ice and has enjoyed broadening her horizons by being a coach and mentor to skaters in Philadelphia as well as New Jersey. Maggie has a bachelor's degree in childhood studies, earned at Rutgers University, and is an age based program coordinator at Ed Snider Youth Hockey & Education.
