the summit of skating accomplishment. Emilia enrolled in ISIA
learn-to-skate midway through her kindergarten year, at age 5-1/2.
Two years later she began private lessons, and has been learning from
coach Jessica Houk (LaPorte) since age 10. Emilia is a
senior at Mattawan HS this year, and plans to attend college and pursue
a career as a pediatric nurse.
