How often do you skate?: I skate six days a week and have 10 lessons a week. I love skating Friday mornings before school. I have passed my preliminary free skate and juvenile moves tests.

Favorite skater: Kimmie Meissner. I have skated with her at Ice World and I have two pair of skates signed by her. I also skate at the University of Delaware once a week. It's where Kimmie skates.

Favorite skating moments: I have three. I won a poster of myself skating at the South Atlantic Regionals. That was fun. I won first place at the Hershey Competition in the freestyle category and was invited to skate in the skate-off. I was invited to skate in a show at The Rink at Old York Road, and I skated with Melissa Gregory, Denis Petukhov, Albena Denkova and Maxim Staviski. That was very exciting.

What else you should know about me: I'm a hard worker and I like a challenge. I also have a great coach in Heather Piepenburg. I am on the Honor Roll at school.

Hobbies: I like to dance, sing and make up my own skating routines on the ice.
