I've been an active athlete since a young age, and will continue pursuing athletics by any means. I used to compete in Tae Kwon Do until the age of 9, when I moved from Oregon to New Mexico. In 4th grade I was tested and approved into the gifted program. From there, I involved myself in basketball, school and club, throughout my middle school years, while I also applied myself to the club swim team. I ended up dropping basketball to further focus on swimming. I skipped my 8th grade year of school due to my advanced mathematics and English state test scores, and went into the 9th grade at The Ask Academy. Throughout my athletic career, I have been told by coaches that I am a good addition to the team, I am currently in 10th grade at The Ask Academy, and I'm working harder than ever in school to keep my grades up and in the pool to achieve my first sectional cut in the 50 freestyle.
