Career
Kawamura began skating at age 4 because her parents thought it would be good exercise and balance training for little kids.
She points to winning the junior silver medal at the 2009 U.S. Championships as her career-Defining moment. Kawamura was then sent to the 2009 International Challenge Cup in The Hague, Netherlands where she won silver on the junior level.
Kawamura made her ISU Junior Grand Prix debut in the following season. She was assigned the 2009-2010 ISU Junior Grand Prix event in Hungary where she placed 4th. She was then assigned to a second event in Croatia where she won the bronze. This qualified her for the 2009–2010 Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final in Tokyo, Japan where she placed 8th.
