DINA PARISE

This former professional skater for the Ice Capades has traded in her skates for tires and sequins for a fire suit! But don’t let her graceful exterior fool you! She means business on and off the track!

Having an eclectic background has led Parise into the realm of motivational speaking (not as cliché as it sounds) combined with elite athlete mentorship as well as keynote speaking for various companies and events. Parise has also ventured into the hosting side. Her days as a performer for the Ice Capades honed her skills for promotion, marketing and on-camera work.

"As I always say... In life, you get one ticket and I’m using mine until it expires!"
