In 2021, I dove headfirst into water polo, earning a place among the nation's top teams. My high school team, Bellarmine, achieved a 6th national rank in Fall 2023, while my club team secured 22nd at last year's Junior Olympics. I leveraged my size and speed to become one of our high school's top 5 scorers in my freshman and sophomore years. Beyond a sport, water polo embodies resilience and dedication for me. Challenges transformed into opportunities, setbacks into lessons, and victories into unwavering determination. I refined my endurance, skills, and mental fortitude through private coaching, international exposure, and the Olympic Development Program.
Each match fuels my hunger for growth, fueling a passion that embodies perseverance and teamwork. I see water polo as the intersection where leadership thrives, communication excels, and relentless effort is cherished.
I aim to elevate my game and inspire others venturing into new passions. My journey demonstrates that dedication leads to boundless opportunities. I'm ready to delve deeper, conquer challenges, and leave an enduring mark on this beautiful sport during my college years.
