[edit] Biography
Corwin was born in Harbor City, California to Jewish American parents. She started skating at the age of five.
She competed on the senior level for more than a decade. Her most notable accomplishments include finishing fourth at the 2004 U.S. Figure Skating Championships and second at the 1999 Four Continents Championships. At the 1997 U.S. nationals, she became the first U.S. woman to land a triple-triple combination in the short program. During her career she attempted to learn the quadruple toe loop jump in hopes of becoming the first woman to land one in competition.
Corwin retired from competitive skating in 2006 to focus on a career in the fashion industry. Corwin designed many of her skating costumes, and off the ice, she has a degree in fashion merchandising and marketing from Cal State Long Beach.
