I have an identical twin sister named Allison. She currently skates on the senior level for Southern Methodist University.

I have one dog, Casper, who is a Bichon Frise.

I love to run and placed second in my age division at the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. Someday I hope to run a marathon.

I studied ballet at The Houston Ballet Academy for 8 years and performed with Houston Ballet in over 30 Nutcrackers and in Cinderella as an angel. I skated to Cinderella in 2008 after falling in love with the ballet.

I am a huge college football fan. My favorite teams are the Texas Longhorns and the Florida Gators.

Other sports that I love doing include snow skiing and tennis.

I went to high school full time for four years and graduated Summa Cum Laude as an AP Scholar and National Honor Society member.
