She began practicing rhythmic gymnastics and figure skating while she was living in the Republic of Korea. She started speed skating after moving back to the United States of America with her family at age six. "I only started a sport when I was younger because I had such terrible coordination and my legs were so weak that I would fall down just walking. My parents said they needed to put me in a sport so I would be able to run around normally like the other kids."
