Q: What are your skating goals, both short-term and long-term?
My short-term goal is to build a strong partnership and compete successfully at the Novice pairs level, with the aim of earning a spot on the International Selection Pool and gaining opportunities to compete internationally. I’m focused on developing solid technical elements—throws, twists, lifts, and pair spins—while building consistency, trust, and strong performance quality with my partner.
Long-term, I’d love to progress through the Junior and Senior ranks, compete at major national and international events, and continue pushing our technical difficulty and artistry. I’m looking for a partner who is equally dedicated, motivated, and excited about the process—someone who values hard work, open communication, and teamwork. My goal is to build a partnership that not only achieves competitive success but also enjoys the journey of improving every day and performing at our best.
Q: What qualities do you possess that would make you a good partner?
I bring a lot of determination, positivity, and resilience to a partnership. I’m fearless when it comes to trying new elements—I genuinely love working on throws and lifts, and I’m not afraid to push myself outside my comfort zone to improve. Hard work doesn’t intimidate me; I enjoy the process of training, refining details, and getting a little better every day.
I also bring grit and persistence. If I fall, I get up and try again—simple as that. I believe every day is a chance to challenge the day before and keep building momentum.
At the same time, I think a strong partnership needs good energy and trust, so I bring a supportive attitude and a good sense of humor to the ice. I value communication, teamwork, and creating an environment where both partners feel motivated and confident. My goal is to be the kind of partner who shows up prepared, works hard, stays positive, and is fully committed to building something great together.
Extra comments:
I was a member of the 2025 National Development Team. I currently have solid throw double Salchow, loop, and flip. I also have experience with Group 3, 4 and 5 lifts.
Physically, I’m petite and muscular, topping out at 4’11", and I believe I’ve reached my full height. I have a very strong core, which helps with stability, lifts, and throw technique. My best solo jump is my double Lutz, and while I do not yet have a double Axel or triple Salchow, both are currently in development and improving.
Overall, I’m very motivated to keep progressing technically and to build a strong, competitive partnership with someone who shares the same drive and commitment to improving every day.
