Until the age of 11, Ekaterina Alexandrovskaya performed as an individual skater, but switched to pairs skating at her training-base in Ukraine in the spring of 2012. In 2016, she received an offer from the Australian Federation to compete with Harley Windsor under the guidance of Russian coaches Andrey Hekalo and Nina Moser.
