Note! This Skater has always been in the shadow of her more succesfull and famous countrywomen(Kwan, Lipinski, Bobek), but still she has had her fair share of success.
At the Worlds 1998 she reached the highlight, when she skated in the last group. She has been around for some time now, but the big breakthrough hasn´t come as yet, and questions have to be asked whether or not she will ever be apple to be up among the very best.
On the ice she is a very mature skater to watch. She has this big smile on her face when she has landed a jump.
Strong points: Maturity
Weaknessses: Consistancy
Trademarks:"Strange" entry into her tripple Lutz.
