Bio
My mother is Jennifer Leachman and my step dad is Kris LaPoint. They are also my coaches. I love fashion. I’m a freshman at Montverde Academy. Skiing is my hobby. I play volleyball and basketball when I’m not skiing. My biggest influence in life is Huguette Yanga (aka YAYA), a foreign exchange student from Africa who lived with my family for 2 years before going to college. She is my biggest influence because she does her best at everything she does and she always thinks of the glass half full. She is confident, devoted and always there for me. My biggest influence in water skiing (besides my parents) is Will Asher. He is an amazing skier. His technique is incredible and he trains hard. He is talented and friendly. I hope to do some of the things he has done for this sport.
