Tisha Walker, Simi Valley

Tisha Walker has dedicated more than three decades to the sport of figure skating. And if you browse her accomplishments, it seems as though she hasn't wasted a single day. Tisha was an alternate on the 1992 U.S. Olympic team, as well as a national medalist, an international gold medalist, and a member of the World Team. Instead of letting all that experience go to waste, or using it to start a team of adorable, but ultimately useless ice-skating squirrels, Tisha now helps other skaters learn basic skills or start their own careers on the ice. She offers private lessons to recreational and competitive students, and is flexible enough to teach techniques in other icy activities such as hockey and power skating.
