Flores was born on April 30, 2003, in Wiesbaden, Germany to parents Holly, a financial advisor, and Tony, a consultant, both of whom served in the U.S. Army.

[2] Flores graduated with honors from Cheyenne Mountain High School in 2021, where she ran varsity cross-country in addition to her ice dance training.

She trained as a single skater in 2011, when she became inspired to take up ice dance after attending a seminar on the discipline hosted by her current coach, Elena Dostatni.

[3] Early in her ice dance career, Flores skated with a number of different partners, including Davis Ortonward from 2013 to 2014, Mikhail Gumba from 2017 to 2018, and British skater Adam Bouaziz from 2019 to 2020.

[5] In a final update on the situation posted to her Instagram account on February 3, 2022, Flores stated that while she still had not heard from Tsarevski, she'd decided to accept the apparent end of their partnership and begin considering other options to continue her ice dance career.

The process proved more complicated and financially burdensome than the team initially expected, as the Belarusian federation requested US$25,000 in restitution for Desyatov's training expenses incurred during the season prior.

[10] Flores/Desyatov began their season by finishing fifth at the 2024 Lake Placid Ice Dance International and sixth at the 2024 CS Denis Ten Memorial Challenge.

[10] The duo were assigned to debut on the 2024–25 Grand Prix circuit at the 2024 Skate America, however, two days before the event, their names were withdrawn and they were replaced by Annabelle Morozov/Jeffrey Chen.

[12] In November, Flores made an Instagram post, confirming that she and Desyatov would miss the remainder of the season due to the ongoing investigation.
