Half of learning a new element is just getting over the fear of doing it. Once you mentally prepare yourself enough to do the jump, that is really half the battle.

I never got to go to prom or homecoming or a lot of the typical teenage stuff. But, if you think about it, I've gotten to go and meet different people and travel all over the world.

I like the challenge and instant gratification of landing a new jump or learning a new element. That made me fall in love with the sport.

There are always benefits and good things, bad things that come out of every performance.

Every day's a new day.

I try to get as close to 10 hours of sleep each night, as sleep is the best form of recovery.

I think that ballet and skating definitely go hand in hand, especially growing up at Ballet West, which is an incredible academy.

A lot of the things I do outside the rink are just to relax and recover. We spend so much time at the rink, so it's nice to decompress a little.

Triples are hard. Triple axel is just not my jump. Quads are really my thing.

I really wanted to play hockey. My mom thought figure skates looked easier to use, so she put me in the learn-to-skate program.
