Probably a few weeks after I was born I started having casts put on my legs to straighten them out. After that corrective shoes and with a brace in between.

As a teenager especially, I just wanted to do my thing and not be noticed.

Now, I am thrilled to be a wife and mother, and I hope to be as good of a mother as my own mother, Carole.

I'm kind of a homebody. My husband says I like to just stay home and do nothing, but that's just how I am.

I didn't want to skate for someone else or for certain marks.

I'm always looking for inspiring ways to stay motivated and stay active.

As a professional, I think we're not being judged solely on technical ability anymore. People really want to be entertained and enjoy what they're watching.
