My favorite jumps are the Axel and double toe. I have been practicing some new footwork that I really like. I am presently working on my double Axel.

I love the challenge of learning new jumps and the accomplishment I feel when I land the jumps. I also like the friends I make while attending skating clinics and competitions.

I skated with two broken toes on my landing foot during the Cleveland Invitational Competition. I went out and skated my best. It was very painful, but I won the gold at the competition.

I'm in eighth grade. My grandmother makes most of my competition and practice dresses.
