I’ve been diving since I was nine years old, and since high school I’ve known that competing in college is my dream — a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to grow both as an athlete and as a person. I’m highly coachable, self-motivated, and love learning from different coaching styles and perspectives. Outside the pool, I challenge myself with rigorous AP courses while maintaining a high GPA and class rank. Balancing academics, athletics, and competitive piano has taught me to multitask effectively and stay disciplined under pressure. I’m looking for a college where I can continue pushing myself — in the classroom and on the boards — and compete at the highest level possible. My goal is to contribute to my team, become my best version, and make my family proud!
