Basics, Choreography

Chika Turner was introduced to skating and began learn-to-skate classes at the age of 3 in Western Kentucky, where she was born and raised. She joined OFSC at the age of 7 and competed in her first competition at the Ice Chalet.

Her love for the sport continued through her teenage years and into her adult life, coaching basics through freestyle-level skaters from young children to adults. Chika enjoys choreographing and supporting her skaters throughout the process, and she loves witnessing them achieve their goals.

Chika has passed Freestyle 6 and completed USFS Novice Moves in the Field. She moved to Knoxville in 2019 for college, where she earned a bachelor's degree in Health Science in 2024. She is happy to be back on the ice at the rink she always looked forward to visiting while growing up.
