“My most memorable moment at the piers was my second day there. There was a party for the girls going to level 10 JO Nationals and they included me. I was in awe and so grateful of how welcoming people were. I think that every single person came up to me, welcomed me and wished me luck. That is when I knew Chelsea Piers was the best possible place for me to be.”
