My favorite sport is Figure Skating

​

What is your favorite skating and dancing moves? 

My favorite skating move is a victory spiral, and my favorite dance move is a leap.

​

What is your favorite thing to eat before competition?

I like to eat a light snack before I compete like a banana or a granola bar. 

​

What is your favorite song to skate to?

 I think my favorite song to skate to is the song I am competing with this year "Boîte en argent by Indila”.  I honestly like all the songs I perform with. 

​

Who is an athlete or person in your life that inspires you?

 People who inspire me…all the big kids. I always skate with them. I try to catch up to them, or be like them. And probably my Mom, Aunty Mari, Aunty Stella, Ms. Shannon, and Dice. They are all of my coaches. I'm glad that they get to teach me.

​

What injury did you have? Did you have surgery?

 I have a stress fracture in my back and patellofemoral syndrome. I didn’t have any surgery. Dr. Robin is helping me get better! 

​

What did you learn from your injury?

 It’s hard to come back to all your activities after being out for a while. You might not be as good at the things you've worked so hard on and were good at. It gets a little frustrating sometimes, but you have to go step by step and just start over until you can do those things again. Just don’t rush it.

What advice would you give a kid that is recovering from an injury?

Advice… GO TO ROBIN! SHE’LL HELP YOU! And rest. Take your time to recover.
