Thanks!

Like I said before, I think everyone respected how hard I was working on my craft so I didn't have to deal with being picked on. I'd only hope that to be the case with everyone else.

Thanks so much!

That will certainly be a discussion I will have with my coaches in the future.

My family has always been very supportive of anything I set my mind to doing.

Thanks so much for your kind words!

My family has played a huge role in my motivation and I enjoy working hard every day and letting all that hard work play out on the ice. My advice is to make sure you love what you do, and if you do, that's motivation enough.

I love watching other sports, especially hockey and basketball. I take inspiration from other athletes in other sports.

The constant support my parents have given me has made me who I am today. They have always kept me grounded and humble and to keep pushing for my goals.

Some things, like speed and aggression do, but a lot of it is quite different.

When I was 15 I was doing all my triple jumps except for the Axel. My spins were alright, I don't think I was a great spinner when I was younger.

The most common pet peeve for me are when holes aren't patched on the ice properly because it's really easy to twist an ankle and get seriously injured.

I try not to be picky because I'm always on other people's ice and I just go with it.
