Biography

Paetsch first competed with Brady Miller. She teamed up with Jon Nuss in May, 2005. Paetsch & Nuss are the 2006 US National novice champions and 2007 national junior bronze medalists. They won the bronze medal at the 2006 Junior Grand Prix Final.

Although they placed fourth on the day, they were later awarded the bronze medal from the 2007–2008 Junior Grand Prix Final following the retroactive disqualification of first-place-finishers Vera Bazarova & Yuri Larionov due to a positive doping sample from Larionov. This bronze medal guaranteed Paetsch & Nuss a spot on the 2008–2009 Grand Prix of Figure Skating. They were assigned to the 2008 Skate Canada International Grand Prix competition.

Paetsch & Nuss announced the end of their partnership on July 14, 2008.^[1] Paetsch has teamed up to compete with Drew Meekins. They placed 10th at the 2009 U.S. Figure Skating Championships.
