## Skating career

Arnold began learning to skate in 1993. Competing with Christopher Steeves in junior ice dancing, she placed 6th at the 2008 Canadian Championships and 5th at the 2009 Canadian Championships.

Arnold teamed up with Justin Trojek in 2009 and skated two seasons with him on the senior level.

Arnold and Thomas Williams had a tryout in February 2015. Although he decided to take a year off, they continued to skate together occasionally (around eight times) and began a formal partnership in March 2016. They placed 5th at the 2018 Canadian Championships and 8th at the 2018 Four Continents Championships. They are coached by Megan Wing and Aaron Lowe in Burnaby, British Columbia.
