Personal life


Chan was born in Pasadena, Texas.[1] She attended Fairmont Elementary School and Fairmont Junior High in Pasadena,[2] and high school in McKinney, Texas.[1] In addition to skating, she has also trained in Chinese modern dance and ballet.[2]


Career



Single skating


Chan competed at the novice level until the 2014–15 season. At the U.S. Championships, she finished sixth in 2013 and ninth in 2014 before winning the gold medal in 2015.[1]

In 2015–16, Chan moved up to the junior level. She made her ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) debut in Bratislava, Slovakia, finishing sixth.[1] She won the gold medal at the 2016 U.S. Championships.[3] She trained in Plano, Texas, coached by Aleksey Letov.[1][4]


Pair skating


Chan competed three seasons in juvenile pairs with J. Daniel Vallecilla. In December 2008, the two won the juvenile title at the 2009 U.S. Junior Championships. The pair was coached by Nicole Sciarrotta Nichols in Texas.[2]

Skating with Misha Mitrofanov, Chan placed eighth in novice pairs at the 2015 U.S. Championships

She teamed up with Spencer Howe in 2019, and the two decided to train at the Skating Club of Boston in Norwood, Massachusetts, coached by Aleksey Letov and Olga Ganicheva.[5] In their second season together, Chan/Howe placed seventh at the 2020 Skate America and fifth at the 2021 U.S. Championships.

Chan/Howe finished ninth at the 2021 CS Warsaw Cup. In January, they won pewter for fourth place at the 2022 U.S. Championships and were sent to the 2022 Four Continents Championships in Tallinn, Estonia. Ranked third in the short and second in the free, they moved ahead of Canada's Walsh/Michaud to take the silver medal behind fellow Americans Lu/Mitrofanov.[6]

The international pairs scene going into the 2022–23 season was greatly altered by the International Skating Union banning all Russian skaters in response to their country's invasion of Ukraine.[7] With more podium opportunities for pairs outside of Russia, Chan/Howe began with a silver medal win at the 2022 CS U.S. Classic. Howe said that they were pleased with the outcome in light of injury troubles that had hindered their preparations.[8] Given two Grand Prix assignments for the first time, they won the silver medal at the 2022 Skate Canada International.[9]
