Admires: Tara Lipinski who I met and is really a great person; and Sasha Cohen and Surya Bonaly who I was lucky enough to skate with (they are also great too.  I asked Surya to do a backflip but she had just done one, so she didn't do another one.)

Future Plans: To make the Vancouver 2010 Olympics and other World Competitions.  I have learned to do all of my double jumps.  I am working on triple jumps.

NOTE: I learned about the www.PRFSF.com website just by surfing the web.  My dad and I have been looking a long time.  My dad, Mark Reina, was the President of the Farmington Hills Figure Skating Club.  Now he is the General Secretary of the Puerto Rican Figure Skating Federation.  I also train at the Taylor Sports Complex with my coach Annette Bowman.  I used to workout at the Detroit Skate Club in the summers.  They have lots of great skaters at both TSX and DSC. 

 I have been skating since I was 4 years old.  I started Roller Skating and then tried Ice Skating.

 I am the current Puerto Rican National Novice Silver Medalist.  I was the 2003 Puerto Rican National Juvenile Champion, and 2004 Puerto Rican Intermediate Champion.  I earned Puerto Rico's first figure skating medal: Silver for second place, Novice short program at Port Huron FSC's Edith Scheonrocks International Competition.  There were lots of Canadians and Americans and one Puerto Rican, me. (February 4, 2006)

 I was also on the ISI World Team Compulsory 6 Champions in 2003.  My team was called the Material Girls.  We also skated in 2004 at the Team Compulsory 7 level. 

I am very proud to be Puerto Rican and look forward to representing Puerto Rico in International competitions and the Olympics.  My goal is to do all I can to get ready to represent Puerto Rico in the Olympics some day. 

 I look forward to competing at the Puerto Rican Nationals in the Coliseo in Hato Rey.  I would like to skate in Aquadilla too.  I was at the US Eastern Great Lakes Regional Competition when the very first ice show in Puerto Rico occurred.  I have skated all over the United States in places like San Francisco, Seattle and New Jersey. 

I work about 3-5 hours per day on the ice in the summer and 2-3 hours per day during the school year.  I actually get to skate more in the summer because I am out of school.  I spend another hour doing off ice ballet, conditioning or general working out.
