- She was one of 10 solo skaters selected out of 1100 chosen to perform in a benefit show starring former U.S. champ Ryan Bradley
- Given a tour of the Riedell Factory in Red Wing, Minn., by the company vice president, Dan Riegelmann, where she is the youngest sponsored skater they have ever had in the company's 60 year history
- Sponsored by the Chloe Noel skatewear line and appears in their national advertising
- She will perform at the Utica College home opener at the Utica Auditorium when the Utica Pioneers take on the Canadian Royal Military College, October 21st at 7pm
