How did you get involved in gymnastics: When I was three, my mom would catch me climbing on the kitchen countertops and jumping off (basically giving her a heart attack any chance I could), so she decided I would benefit from being a little active and put me in gymnastics.
Favorite thing about gymnastics: Definitely the discipline that comes with it. As a gymnast, you learn from early on how to listen to your body and proactively respond to your environment. It just shows how adaptable gymnasts are and adds even more value to the craft.
What are your goals for gymnastics?: My goal is to break a 39+ all around and to place top 3 at Nationals!
