I am 3 time US figure skating sectional finalist. I have won numerous gold medals in the last 10 years. I am homeschooled which allows me to train more extensively for competitive figure skating. I travel a lot internationally and I am currently enrolled in AP US history and Advanced French as part of my high school curriculum. Besides English, I also understand French and Spanish very well. I have picked up a little bit of Russian while traveling as well.
