IN MY WORDS

If I wasn't a figure skater ... I would be a dancer. I love to dance and I am very passionate about the artistic side of figure skating.

I started skating because ... I went to an ice skating birthday party and my parents couldn't get me off of the ice. I have loved it ever since.

My favorite thing about performing is ... the feeling I get after doing my best, and seeing the impact it can have on others. It makes all of my hard work pay off.

After I'm done skating, I want to ... eat, sleep, read and spend time with family and friends.

My hobbies are ... drawing/designing, reading and making jewelry.

 

MY FAVORITES

Practice music: Anything by Rihanna

Jump: Triple flip

Skating maneuver: Spread eagle

Programs of my career: My program to the music from Black Swan because I think it brings out a side of me I have never been able to show in my skating career thus far. I really love the music and the choreography, and I think the program highlights all of my assets.
