Most Memorable Sports Moment
My final competitive skate with my skating partner Karina at the 2019 US Nationals will always have a special place in my heart! It was the culmination of so much effort and love, and to see it through with my best friend was a moment that crystalized what I value about the sport: using skating as a vehicle for authentic self-expression. I try to carry that energy with me every day, whether I'm performing or teaching.
