“Even now, my husband Jerry, our son Matthew and I live only five minutes away from my parents home, and my brothers live about ten minutes away. It's been great having such a supportive family.”
“I started skating when I was six years old.”
“I do not have any pets. We travel too much.”
“It is a process of finding the right music then planning a costume to fit that style of music.”
“My parents never pressured me to skate. They always said I could quit if I wanted to. They only expected me to skate when they had already paid for the expensive lessons. But, otherwise they said I could do what I wanted to do.”
“Falling down became second nature and it really didn't bother me.”
“My hobbies are painting, crafts, and I like golfing.”
“I get to see the different sides of skating now which involves not only competing, but entertainment.”
“I like to try all kinds of styles so it always challenges me and forces me to try to look different.”
“Even now I can't describe why I love skating so much.”
“My life has been a whirlwind since the '94 Olympics.”
“And I love what I do and I love skating.”
“There is no age, height, or weight requirement to skate. It is good exercise no matter what your age is. If you want to be competitive, most start young. But, I practice with many adult competitors.”
“But after a few minutes of convincing myself that I really wanted to go - telling myself that I love skating and that my coach is there waiting for me - I would get up and go. And my mother would always get up and eat breakfast with me!”
