For me, I have gay family members, and I have a lot of friends in the LBGT community.

From a young age, I was viciously competitive.

When Im competing, I need to be strong.

I really believe that women who are confident in their natural beauty are the most beautiful

I've had so many critics over the past couple of months. I've had so many people who said I'm too old for this, I am burnt out. But, you know what, I am so hungry to make a career for myself. I was able to turn all this negativity into something positive.

I love hanging out with friends and family.

The Grand Prix Final is an opportunity for me to go out and experience new jumping passes in competition. I put in a triple loop-half loop-triple Salchow in the second of the program. It's a very difficult jumping pass so this is a chance for me to try out the new elements and the adjusted jumping layout to get prepared for nationals.
