I have loved swimming since I was 7 years old. I have a passion for competing, and I love being on a team. My swim family is like my family, and I hope to find that environment at a college program. Wherever I go to college, I hope to contribute to the team competitvely, and to the positive swim culture. Academics are important to me too, and I hope to pursue a career as a counselor, maybe focusing on genetics.
