Shae-Lynn started skating when she was 7 years old, after watching her brother Chris skate. She started off as a pairs skater, but switched to ice dancing a few years later. She met Victor Kraatz at a rink in Montreal when she was 15, and after testing their partnership for a week, decided to skate together. The team has skated together ever since, competing at 3 Olympic Winter Games and several international competitions.
