One of the most underrated and underappreciated skaters ever. I love to watch her old programs despite that she only made it to a World level competition once and placed 9th:

Unfortunately she wasnt strong in compulsory figures, never fully mastered a sound triple in an era they were starting to become prominent (although most top skaters had only 1 or 2 of the toe and salchow at most), and was a relatively late bloomer for the time who only emerged on the U.S senior scene at 18, so competively speaking had no real hope. It doesnt take away from the enjoyment value of her programs though.
