Ice in Paradise has never just been a rink to me – it’s my second home. Over the past 9-10 years, it’s been the place where I’ve grown socially, mentally, and physically. The people here – my friends, coworkers, coaches, and everyone who walks through these doors – have become like family. As my current season comes to a close, I’m proud to finish with an undefeated regular season and the opportunity to compete at the 2025 Excel Nationals and National Showcase. I’ll be ending my SOCAL Interclub Invitational skating alongside some of the top talent in Southern California – and I couldn’t imagine a better way to close out this chapter.
