IN MY WORDS

My figure skating hero is ... Joannie Rochette. She overcame a tragic event at the Olympics and skated her best to earn a medal.

My hobbies are ... riding a unicycle and ripstick to help with my balance and core.

The best moment of my figure skating career thus far was ... representing Team USA at the 2012 Gardena Spring Trophy in Italy.

I always ... have my lucky Smurf on the boards at competitions. You can often see me holding it in the kiss and cry.
