Chickpea started roller skating in May 2020 to cope with the challenges of the pandemic. She is a SkateIA, RollRight, SafeSport certified instructor. She offers beginner, intermediate, and advanced group roller skate classes throughout the Portland Metro area; roller dance, footwork essentials, hills and hazards, and Roll Right learn-to-skate classes. Chickpea’s goals are to share the joy of skating, educate on the urban culture of skating, build the skater and instructor community, and to make skating accessible for all.
