IN MY WORDS

I look up to ... my coaches. They put a lot of hard work into us as skaters. They make me want to be a better skater.

If I wasn't a figure skater ... I'd be an art student.

The best moment of my figure skating career thus far was ... winning the short program at the 2010 World Championships.
