Q: Is synchronized skating anything like synchronized swimming?

A: Yeah, you hold each other in a line and you do kick lines. You can do spirals in lines and circles. It's pretty cool. I think it's cooler than swimming because it's faster, but I don't know because I've never really seen synchronized swimming.

Q: What are your goals for the future?

A: I'm hoping right now to get a job in the criminal justice system because I graduate (this week.) … I am hoping to apply for the FBI in a couple years. You have to be 23 and I'm 21 so I have a couple years before I can even apply. I kind of want to do something where I can travel.

Q: Do you see ice skating in your future?

A: (A friend and I) were actually joking that we were just going to quit our college stuff and join Disney on Ice. That would be so awesome because you'd get to travel, but I don't know if I could physically do stuff like that anymore.

Q: What got you interested in ice skating?

A: I think I was 4 or 5 and I went to visit my uncle in California, and one of the things he had us do was go ice skating and I just picked up on it right away. One of the girls that was there was an ice skater and she saw me and was teaching me all this stuff. I was just so into it and my mom was like, "Okay, I guess we can do ice skating then." It was a little unexpected.

Q: How has ice skating enriched your life?

A: I love sports in general so it got me into a lot of other ones. I have so much muscle from ice skating so I was a thrower for track in high school. It's made me be able to do a lot of other fun things that I like. The whole competition thing is really fun. You get to get all dressed up. It's funny because I wasn't very into it at the time, but now that I look back I think it was so much fun to get dressed up and travel.

Q: You have talked a lot about traveling. Where would you want to go next?

A: I am such a nerd. I got into literature a lot in high school, and now that I'm done with college, I kind of wish I had done something with literature. But it got me into mythology. So know I'm obsessed with Greece, and I want to go there really bad. So I'm planning on going on a cruise there with some friends through the Greek islands in 2009. So that's my first goal.
