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 since I was 8 years old. I started playing during the pandemic when baseball was shut down. My brothers and I needed something fun and a place to get our energy out! My mom contacted her coach from when she started playing, Chi at Shore and he got me going. As my journey progressed I had to move to Vanguard because it was in my neighborhood. I love my team and am learning so much. Last year I tried out for the Olympic Development Program and made it to the 3rd round this year I made it to the 4th round, NTSC, but I need your help. My dream is to play for UCLA one day and make the National Team and Olympic Team. 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 with USA water polo. 

Why I Love Water Polo

I love water polo because it challenges me to be my best every dayand to work hard to acomplish my dreams. I am building life long friendships and having the best time while doing it. I am able to excel in something and have something I can be proud of. 

Why Your Support Matters

Without the support of my family and friends I would not be able to participate in this amazing opportunity. I know that it is a lot ot ask, but it means everything to me. 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. 

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.
