Trish Alexander keeps herself busy teaching at a small private high school and running Skate Journeys Skate School in Bellevue, Washington. She started ice skating at 12 years old and crossed over to Inline Skating in 1994 when she bought her first pair of K2 Skates. Trish told us that one of the reasons she loves inline skating is that it can be done in so many ways: Artistic, Marathon, Slalom, Urban and Vert, Indoor speed skating and just good old social skating with friends and Trish partakes in all of them!
