Personal Statement

In college, I hope to pursue my interests in computer science and STEM while continuing to swim and being the best version of myself in the pool. As a dedicated student athlete, I bring perseverance, discipline, and a positive attitude wherever I go - I'm able to push myself to the limit while supporting those around me. These qualities have gotten me through obstacles like injury and new environments.
