Academically and athletically, I’m driven by a love of competition. In swimming, I found a way to compete as both an individual and a teammate. I enjoy accomplishing the goals I set for myself, both in the pool and in school. I also find happiness in supporting and teaching others to do the same. Personal achievements are important, but only in the context of a larger goal. Because of this, my greatest assets to any collegiate team will be my dedication to hard work and commitment to being the best teammate possible. My leadership experience as a coach, club team captain, and member of my local swim committee board give me the skills needed to add value to a team.
