Introduce Yourself/Tell About Yourself: I’m 18 years old and I’ve been roller skating since I was 5 years old or so. My dream is to work a normal job that I love and be able to skate for the rest of my life.

What Inspires You Every day? : Other roller skaters inspire me to be better and to improve my craft. My family and God push me every day to be the best version of myself.

What is some words of wisdom you live by?: Whatever you do, work hard at it and be the best that you can be.

What is your ultimate goal in life? : My ultimate goal in life is to be happy and successful. I don’t know the full picture of that right now. But one day I hope to be happy and successful.

How have you been during the pandemic and how has it affected you? : I have been working through it. It’s really tough on every one and I’ve been lucky enough to not be affected by it too badly.

What is a message you would like to give others? : If there is something you love to do, do it and don’t let anyone bring your dreams to the ground. The criticism is what makes success so satisfying.

What else would you like to tell others about you or your life?: Trust in God and let him guide you as you make your own path.
