Other information that could be of interest to the media
Ryan and I started doing ice dance together 6 years ago just for fun (I was 8 and he was 10 years old). We had a great time that first year, and still really enjoy skating together after six years. We hope to continue to grow as an ice dance team, eventually competing for Canada internationally. In addition to skating I enjoy swimming, playing piano and trumpet, and listening to music.
