How I got started: I watched the 2006 Olympics and instantly fell in love with skating because of how graceful it is. I went to a few freestyle sessions at the Ice Den. I was 4 at the time. After that, my mom enrolled me in Basic Skills, which built my skating foundation. Ever since I’ve grown and grown as a skater!

Fun fact: I changed my name to Kat in fourth grade because everyone misspelled Katharine. Now, everybody at school calls me Kat.
