Support My Journey to Team USA – and Beyond

I’ve been selected to participate in USA Water Polo’s Olympic Development Program (ODP) and the 2026 National Team Selection Camp (NTSC). This opportunity brings me closer to my goal of competing at the highest level—and representing Team USA.

My Story

Water polo has become a huge part of my life. Through the sport, I’ve learned discipline, teamwork, and how to push myself every day to improve.  I’ve built incredible friendships and grown both in and out of the pool – and I’m excited to continue that journey at the next level. What started out as a junior high sport, quickly turned into a passion for me. Water polo challenges me in every way possible, to be my best every day and teaches me how to be a better teammate.

Why Your Support Matters

As part of this journey, I’m raising support to help fund training, coaching, and development opportunities – both for me and for other athletes working toward their goals. Your support directly helps make opportunities like this possible.

  • Athlete training and development
  • National Team preparation
  • Access and opportunity for the next generation

Unlike many countries, USA Water Polo's athlete pipeline is not funded through government support or through the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee. It is powered by families, friends, and supporters who believe in young athletes like me.

Looking Ahead

This page will stay with me throughout the 2026 ODP season, including NTSC and future Pipeline experiences.  If I’m selected for additional training camps or international competitions, I’ll continue updating my journey here as I work toward the next level.

Join My Team

If you'd like to be part of my journey, I would truly appreciate your support.  Every contribution – big or small – makes a difference.  Thank you for being part of my journey and my team. Every donation made is tax-deductible and goes directly towards fostering my future in water polo at the national level.
