This is my first year in the Oval program, and I’m excited to skate alongside some of the top athletes. My goals for the season are to finish in the top 18 at HR Champs and compete at a Senior Canada Cup. I’m also very thankful that time-trialing 1500s is no longer necessary.

I will always stick to skating, always love skating, and gain more growth and happiness in the oval team. One day, I wish I can become a person who makes myself, my family and coach proud of me!
