1999 in Addison, IL.
"My parents wanted my siblings and I to have after-school activities. My sister danced and I accompanied her for a couple of years. I grew tired of the routine. The Addison Ice rink was only five minutes from my home. We tried the skating program through the park district to start. Shortly after that, the skating school of International Skating Corp. in Addison recruited me to join their school." (Athlete, 14 Jun 2021)
Her goal is to continue to bring enthusiasm and optimism into her training daily, but also to carry this energy with her in all future outlets of life. "My ambition in life after skating is to inspire those around me to strive for greatness and enjoy the journey. Not all goals need to be outcome bases. Some of the most valued goals we can set are those that create fulfillment from within, derived from your attitude." (Athlete, 14 Jun 2021)
Returning to the competitive scene at the Four Continents Championships in 2017 after several stomach surgeries is her most valued competition. "The layers of uncertainty and adversity I endured to make it to that point impacted me in the most positive way imaginable. The sheer joy and passion I felt when I completed my first event will never be matched." (Athlete, 14 Jun 2021)
Figure skater Aljona Savchenko (GER), 2018 Olympic pairs champion and two-time bronze medallist (2010, 2014).
Her mother. "My mother always instilled confidence in me to pursue my wildest dreams. She opened my heart to desire greatness because she believed in me. Without her love I would have not been influenced by anyone the same and I would not have accomplished a fraction of what I have thus far." (Athlete, 14 Jun 2021)
"Before every competition my mom sends me cards for each program. It is a ritual that I open my card before I compete.
"I always put my left skate on first." (Athlete, 14 Jun 2021)
"Sport is a unique gift to those who have the opportunity to pursue it. Respect for your sport and respect for your teammates and competitors is the foundation for a healthy relationship in and out of the game. Prioritizing your mental health while you push the capabilities of your physical health is monumental for a successful life after sport." (Athlete, 14 Jun 2021)
