First in line: "I won the first competition I entered, and I haven't looked back. Since then, I've competed in 45 competitions in five countries."

Swiss-missed: "My worst accident happened when I was competing in Switzerland. I slipped on the ramp and came down headfirst. I got a concussion and had to stay in bed all day."

Roll model: "I used to read about Dawn Everett—a retired professional in-line skater— in magazines. She inspired me to start skating."

All in the family: "I see a lot of the same skaters at every competition, no matter where we are in the world. It's cool, because we're like a big family."

You go, girls: "I'd love to see more girls get into skating. There are only about 20 or 30 girls who compete, compared with about 200 guys."

Korn to win: "My idol is Jonathan Davis, the lead singer of Korn. I totally skate for him. To meet him would be a dream come true."

Movin on: "I'd like to go as far as I can with skating. I do want to go to college someday, and maybe study photojournalism."
