Andrea Mohns-Brillaud: Skating to Success

Andrea Mohns-Brillaud has led the Boston University Figure Skating Club to back-to-back national championships.

When she was a student at BU, she skated on the team. 21 years later, she became coach. Then, the club were a non-competitive team with no history of success.

Now, they are one of the country’s premier figure skating clubs.

I spoke to Mohns-Brillaud about her transition from skater to coach and how she shaped the success of the team.

This interview is part of a larger story I wrote for BU Today, titled, “Athleticism and Artistry Hallmark of BU Figure Skating Club.” The full story can be found here.

As it was part of my work as a writer for BU Today, they sent their own photographer, who captured the above image. (Photo credit: Maddie Maholtra/BU Today.)
