Personal Statement

I am currently a pre-med student at the University of New Orleans. UNO's administration recently elected to step down from Division I to Division III and to defund the swimming and diving team, so I am looking for another swim program.

I had a successful club and high school swimming experience. I was named to the Pacific Northwest Swimming All Star Team three times, and to the Zones team twice. I still hold numerous records for StingRay Swim Club and was Captain of my team at Everett High School.

As a club and high school swimmer, I swam sprint and middle distance events but I started swimming distance events when I came to UNO. It has taken me some time to adapt to distance swimming and to build up an aerobic tolerance for longer events. While the conversion to distance events has been a frustrating process, I have seen significant improvement in my times this year. In addition to my distance events, I also swam the 200 Fly and 200 Free at the Sun Belt Conference meet this past February; the 200 Free was a time trial and I'm sure I could have gone several seconds faster if there had been competition in the adjacent lanes.

While I have been a member of the distance group at UNO, I believe my strength is middle distance events. With that said, I will swim any events needed to help my team.

I take swimming very seriously. I practice hard every day, and my coaches will tell you that I frequently outperform my teammates in workouts. They will also tell you that I'm a good teammate to all the members of our squad.

While I love to swim, I am also a serious student. I am on a full academic scholarship at UNO. I have a 3.2 cumulative GPA and am in
the Honors Program. My GPA has earned me a spot on the Dean's List.

I think I can make a meaningful contribution to a college or university swim program. I'm not particular about location, but am hoping to secure academic scholarship support.
