Meet The Team

Grace is the Co-Owner and Lead Coach at Skatewell, where she is the first point of contact with students starting out in skateboarding. With a passion for skateboarding that began when she was 23, Grace found confidence, self-esteem, and a sense of wellbeing from the sport. As an adult learning, Grace found it difficult to access coaching, and this is one of the driving reasons behind the creation of Skatewell. 

​

Grace's favourite thing about the sport is showing up 100% authentically, and she loves the freedom and expression that comes with it. Grace founded Skatewell with the vision of sharing her same experience to promote skateboarding for wellness. If you're interested in learning to skateboard, Grace is here to help you get started.

She loves the freedom and excitement that skateboarding brings and enjoys setting goals, envisioning tricks, and working hard to perfect them. This pursuit has taught her that with the right mindset and effort, anything is achievable.

 

Throughout her teens, Amanda dedicated herself to competitions and had the opportunity to compete at an international level. She is passionate about sharing her journey and knowledge, and loves witnessing the sense of accomplishment her students feel when they overcome obstacles. Amanda's ultimate goal is to inspire people from all backgrounds to try skateboarding and bring them together through this sport.
