While practicing several hours a day, five days per week, Artieri qualified this year by passing her Senior Ladies Moves in the Field and the Novice Freestyle Test with the United States Figure Skating Association.
Between school and her busy skating schedule, Taylor still finds the time to coach figure skating for the Mitchell Skating Center and enjoys being a positive role model for the younger skaters.
When she graduates in June with an Advanced Diploma, she’s planning on attending Niagara County Community College, where she was accepted into the Radiology Technology Program.
Taylor is the daughter of Mark and Kelly Artieri of Olcott.
