CO-TREASURER

I am currently employed at Catamount Ranch & Club as the club Controller and am responsible for all financials for the company along with the accounting staff. I am a mother of three daughters, two of them being step daughters who are now 18 and 21 and away at college. My youngest daughter, Olivia, is in the orange group in the skating club and is a second grader at Strawberry Park Elementary. I served as Treasurer and President of my step-daughters’ elementary school PTA in Denver.

Upon moving to Steamboat, I started a Girl Scout troop (Daisy level) and managed to hold meetings through Covid/social distancing times. I’m still the troop leader and we are in our third year as a troop with 17 girls. I believe being on the board of the skating club would give me another opportunity to be involved and continue to contribute to our community in a positive way. 

SECRETARY

My daughter, Amelia is an active member of the Steamboat Skating Club. Amelia has a passion for figure skating and I expect her to be in the sport for the long haul. It's likely that Ella will be in the skating club too at some point. 

I'm a physical therapist specializing in pelvic floor physical therapy and prenatal/postnatal pelvic floor and orthopedic conditions. I own and operate a small practice in town called Elevated Physical Therapy (www.walliemorrispt.com). In addition I am an active member of a local health care advocacy group called HARC (Health Advocates of Routt County). Prior to becoming a physical therapist, I worked in public relations and marketing for both a non profit and a large talent agency.

I'm interested in supporting the Steamboat Skating Club however I can as I expect my children to continue to be involved with it in the years to come. 

MEMBERSHIP & SAFESPORT CHAIR

I have been on the SSC board for the past two years and serve on the Membership Committee.  My daughter Maya has skated with Steamboat Skating Club since she was five years old. She has grown in confidence and benefitted from the positive and supportive environment of SSC. I work at The Health Partnership and assist people to obtain Health Insurance on the Marketplace. I look forward to being able to serve on the board for another term and to provide support and guidance for our club to continue to grow and thrive.

MEMBER

Pati has enjoyed living in Steamboat for almost 20 years, and she loves outdoor activities including skiing and hiking. Professionally, she has over 25 years of experience in Human Resource Information Systems.

Outside of work, Pati actively strives to stay involved in her daughter's activities. Prior to becoming an active member of the Steamboat Skating Club Board, she served 4 years as her daughter’s Girl Scout Troop Cookie Manager. Her passion for figure skating ignited when her daughter Shealyn embarked on her Learn to Skate journey in Kindergarten, and she loves to watch Shealyn and all of the girls in the club grow strong and ever more confident in themselves as figure skaters and performers.
