Career

Kriengkrairut admired Michelle Kwan, Sasha Cohen, and Naomi Lang / Peter Tchernyshev.[1]

Early in her career, Kriengkrairut skated with Jon Lauten.[2]

Kriengkrairut teamed up with Logan Giuletti-Schmitt in 2006; he had found her on IcePartnerSearch and gave her a call.[3] They arranged a three-day tryout but on the second day they agreed to a partnership and began immediate preparations for the new season.[4] They were coached by Yuri Chesnichenko and Yaroslava Nechaeva from the start of their partnership.[3] They won the junior bronze medal at the 2007 U.S. Championships in their first season together.

Kriengkrairut / Giulietti-Schmitt received a host invitation to compete at 2010 Skate America where they finished 6th. At the 2011 U.S. Championships, they were in fourth after the short dance but dropped to fifth overall after a fall at the end of their free dance.[3]

At the 2012 U.S. Championships, Kriengkrairut / Giulietti-Schmitt placed 4th in both segments and won the pewter medal. The following season, they were 5th at the 2013 U.S. Championships.

In February 2013, they decided to be coached by Igor Shpilband in Novi, Michigan.[5]

Personal life

Kriengkrairut is of Thai descent.[4] She was raised in Bismarck, North Dakota and attended Century High School. She is a pre-med major at the University of Michigan, with a focus on brain, behavior, and cognitive sciences.[3]
