Personal Statement
Hello, welcome :) I am so excited to announce my commitment to Pepperdine!
1. Tell coaches about your collegiate goals and aspirations.
TBA
2. What makes you a good candidate for their team?
TBA
I am an extremely well-rounded person. I am the 2020 recipient of the Phoenix Swim Club "Sportsmanship Award".
3. What makes you different from other recruits in character, athletics, and academics?
Money, status, and popularity cannot measure someone’s true worth or happiness. It is the small things in life I truly find amazing. We each have our own stories to tell and share. I believe true strength doesn't lie in the human body, rather it lies in being self-aware and in your mindset. I am a person of my word and integrity is one of the words I would use to describe myself. Everything I come to know and learn is who I am as a person.
