Hello and welcome to my website,



This past year was just AMAZING! Where do I begin?

First of all thanks to my coaches Ilona and Artem for helping me get to Junior Nationals. They have taught me so much and I have learned a lot from them in the year and a half that I have been skating with them. It was really fantastic skating at a National competition and they helped get me there.

Taking Gold at Regionals in Maryland was great, but then winning the Silver medal at U.S. Figure Skating’s Jr. Nationals was unbelievable. Seeing snow for the first time and meeting so many other skaters from around the United States was something I will never forget. When we flew home, we went straight to do a Television Interview, then practice at the Bank Atlantic Center with U.S. Pairs Gold Medalist’s Caydee Denney and Jeremy Barrett. It was so exciting skating with them and then watching them go on to win a gold medal and represent the United States at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada. When you get a chance, you can check out some of the news clips and articles on my skating and recent Silver medal!

Well now I have got to go! It’s back to the rink getting ready for the new skating season. I have a new long program that I am working on. I really love the music and am looking forward to skating this year at the Intermediate level..

Special Thanks to my Mom and Grandma for getting me to the rink each and every day. Mom, I know those 4:30 wake up calls are tough, I love you guys. To Dad, and my bros, Domenick and Louis and Gina and all of my Uncles, Aunts and cousins, Thanks for all of your love and support.

To all of my fellow skaters at Incredible Ice and the Panthers Figure Skating Club, good luck this year and thank you for cheering me on.. Keep Skating Great!


Love, Franchesca
