Our Coach

Alyssa Hjelmgren

Coach

Alyssa has been a member of the synchronized skating community since 2012. This is her third season of coaching, and first season of coaching synchro. She is a senior at the University of Illinois, and working towards her degree in Behavioral Neuroscience.

Alyssa has been skating since she was six years old, and skating synchro since she was eight. She has won multiple regional and national medals, and competed for Team USA for the last three seasons of her competitive year, winning bronze at the Junior World Championships in 2022. She is a triple USFS Gold Medalist in skating skills, ice dance, and solo free dance, and current vice president and coach of the Illinois Intercollegiate Figure Skating Team.

Since stepping down from the sport in 2023, it has been Alyssa’s goal to return to synchronized skating as a coach, and she is thrilled to be joining the team this season.
