When and how did you get involved with Special Olympics?
I started skating when I was around four years old and I started doing it competitively for Special Olympics around nine. My grandfather was a professional figure skater and even competed in the Olympics so the talent was passed down to me.
Will these be your first Special Olympics Canada Games? If not, which other National Games did you compete in, and in what sports?
This will be my third National Games in figure skating.
What were your results in the 2023 Special Olympics BC Winter Games? How did you feel about your performance?
I got a silver in dance and a gold in free skate. I am pretty happy with my performances in provincials, but there is always room for improvement.
What does it mean to you to be part of Special Olympics Team BC 2024?
It is a great honour to be part of this team because it shows how hard I have worked on my skating to be selected.
What is your goal for these National Games?
To improve my skills and to be prepared mentally.
What does competing at National Games mean to you?
Once again, it shows how hard I’ve worked to be part of the select few and to be able to represent my family legacy.
What do you like most about the sport you will compete in at National Games?
I love the performance aspect of figure skating and the different themes that skaters go out to.
What would you tell someone about Special Olympics to encourage them to get involved?
If you really want to do something, just go for it and try it out. It will take lots of effort but you can also meet some good friends along the way.
Please tell us a little bit more about yourself! What else would you like people to know about you?
I started to compete in track and field at the start of last year and have done a few track meets since.
What is one word you would use to describe yourself? :)
Graceful.
