She is a graduate of Harvard and is currently working as a technical writer in the Geosciences Industry. One factor in taking her current position was because it was 'literally next door to a rink" and she "could practice at lunchtime".
She enjoys attending ice shows - even out of state, if she can combine a show with a visit to friends or family. Whenever she travels she takes her skates and looks for a rink. Her current goals are to pass the Pre-Bronze Moves test this summer and the Pre-Bronze Freeskate before the 2009 Adult Nationals.
Her favorite skater of all time is Alexei Yagudin and since skating she has lost 50 pounds. She also plays handbells and is a classically trained soprano. Her favorite people are her eight fabulous nieces and nephews - " the ones who live locally always come to my competitions and cheer for me"!
