Personal Life

Edmunds graduated from Archbishop Mitty High School in 2016, and is currently studying communications at Santa Clara University. She began taking ballet and jazz lessons when she was eight. She has two brothers: Daniel, who is four years her junior, and James, who is two years her senior.

Career

During the 2015-16 season, Edmunds qualified for the 2016 World Figure Skating Championships after a second place finish at the 2016 US Figure Skating Championships.
