About Tessa Virtue

Tessa Virtue competed in three Olympics, alongside Ice Dance partner Scott Moir, and holds a total of five Olympic medals making her one of the most decorated figure skaters in Olympic history. Now having retired from competitive skating, Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir have launched two new tours, the Thank you Canada Tour and most recently the Rock the Rink tour. These tours gave them the chance to give back to the communities that supported their careers along the way.

Tessa will be welcoming student leaders at the SOAR 2020 Conference to share her message and experiences with the Carleton community.
