I put on my first pair of skates when I was about 4, but didn't
start skating in group lessons until I was 7 after my Grandad won me
a "learn to skate" package. I stayed in group for about 2
years and then began working with a private coach. I started
out with one lesson a week but then quickly went to twice a week.
After skating in my first ice show, I knew I wanted to compete. My sister Chelsea also skates. She took the junior coach internship program, so she helps me whenever we skate together. My favorite
skater is Sasha Cohen. I could not wait to read her book and learn
all I could about her. She is such a beautiful and talented
skater. It was a dream come true for me to meet her when
she came to my home rink promoting the “Champions on Ice” tour. I
also really like Kimmie Meissner. Besides skating, I love to play the piano. I started playing when I was 3 years old, and then started lessons when I was about 4. I practice piano every day and have played in two recitals a year for the last 7 or 8 years. I was also in the school chorus and played the clarinet in the band for a year but practice was at the same time as skating so I had to give up the band. I like to draw and paint when I have time. Click here to see some of my artwork, all of which were done when I was younger than 10.
I have two birds --Roxanne and Monty, and a dog named Lucky. Lucky is an Australian shepherd and is very energetic.

Now I skate every day but take a break on the weekends.
I have been on the “Principal’s list” every semester for the last 3
years and try to do my best at everything I do.
