Alexa DerBoghosian is a USFSA double gold medalist in Skating Skills and Solo Free Dance, with a lifelong passion for the ice that began at just four years old. Originally from Reading, MA, she trained primarily in singles throughout her early career before expanding her horizons into new disciplines.
As a collegiate skater, Alexa embraced the world of synchronized skating, competing for the University of New Hampshire Synchronized Skating Team (’21–’25), Team Excel Collegiate (’24–’25), and currently skating at the elite level with Hayden Select—representing Team USA on both national and international stages.
In addition to her competitive career, Alexa has been coaching since the age of 18, sharing her love of skating with the next generation through private lessons, Learn to Skate programs, and choreography. Her versatility as a skater extends beyond competition; she is also a performing member of American Ice Theatre, where she explores contemporary and artistic skating. Through this organization, she earned her Master’s in Choreography and Technique in 2023, further enriching her creative and technical approach on the ice.
Whether you're looking to build foundational skills, polish skating technique, or develop choreography for this season, Alexa brings artistry, dedication, and passion to every session.
