Do you have a favourite program that you've skated to?
I don't really have a favourite program yet.

Why did you become a figure skater?
It's not something you decide to do when you start, my mother just put me in all kinds of sports when I was younger and skating is what I kept doing since then.

What is your favourite aspect of skating?
Jumps
- Triple toe (but it often changes)
Spins - Camels on the other edge.

What are your future plans, whether it be school or skating?
Skating: I want to go as far as I can and push my limits to the max, and of course an Olympic Gold is always an ultimate goal in all sports.
School: I still haven't decided what I want to study, but I for sure want to go to University. I am already studying health sciences, so it will be in relation to that.

Is there anyone "famous" that you'd love to meet or wish you had met?
Singer:
Elvis Presley
Actor/Actress: all the people I listed above
Skater: Ilia Kulik and Katia Gordeeva

Do you collect anything?
I like to have little dolls or souvenirs from every country I visit, but otherwise I don't collect anything.

What are your thoughts on the Code Of Points judging system?
I really like the code of points, but like any other system, it's not perfect. No system will be perfect, as skating is a judged sport, so it involves a lot of personal appreciation.

Where would you like to travel? Where would you like to re-visit?
I would like to visit Australia and South Africa one day. I wish there was more competitions there! I really liked my trip to St-Gervais in France, and I would like to visit Paris next time I go in that country!

Finish the sentence: The Most Important Thing In Life is:
Being happy with myself, and what I become as a person
