I am a determined, self-motivated student-athlete. I set goals for myself each season, and put forth my best effort to achieve them. I support my teammates on both my club team and high school team, as they also support me. Having the opportunity to swim at the collegiate level is a prominent goal of mine, and I will continue to work hard to make that happen. I engage in a wide variety of courses, which includes Graphic Design, Biology, and English, and will continue to work hard in the classroom. I've been swimming on a club team since I was eight years old, and also swim for my high school team. Despite my high school team being limited in numbers, I work to promote the sport and support my fellow teammate, who are beginner swimmers. In the words of Olympian swimmer Michael Phelps, "If you want to be the best, you must be willing to do things that other people aren't willing to do."
