  BACKGROUND



Your best moment in ski jumping? My best moment in ski jumping was when I was announced to go to Alaska for the 2004 Junior Olympics, because I've always wanted to go to Alaska ever since my older brother got to go for his first J.O.'s

Your worst moment in ski jumping? My worst moment was when I broke my arm on the k90, thankfully it was right after the k64 J.O. team event.

Are you involved in any other sports besides ski jumping? During the off season I am part of Park City High's track team and have go to state track meets and have won in the 4x400m relay.

What are your future goals? My future goals is to become an idol for jumpers all over the world and to be the best women jumper in the world.
