1. Favorite event/race: Haven't decided, I just love to skate.

2. How/Why did you start racing?: I was watching my boyfriend at the time  skate Nationals and said to myself this is something I can do. I went to my mom and she and my dad are behind me 110%.

3. Who do you most look up to in the skating world? Why?: My coaches Johnny & Stacey Ristine, they are very caring people, they are there to help you do your best and they are there to support you emotionally. I couldn't ask for two better people for our team.

4. Goals for the 2010 season: Improve my skating technique, skate the best that I  can and place at Regionals.

5. Other Hobbies: I like to hang out with my friends who are "rink rats". I also work at Whitehall SkateAway and when I am not practicing or competing I love to quad skate. I live to skate, it's my life.

7. Achievements/Placements: To have found a sport that I can give 110% with my medical conditionn. I have a mitral valve prolapse & a long qt syndrome which is a heart condition that  I was diagnosed at 6 yrs of age. I do not let it stop me from what I want to achieve.

My first race I had 3 firsts and 1 third place and my second race I took 2 firsts, 1 second and 1 third.
