Hello family, friends, and water polo fans!
I am incredibly honored and excited to share that I am one of only three goalies left in the nation competing for a spot on the USA 16U National Team.
The final roster will head to Zagreb, Croatia, to compete in the prestigious World Aquatics U16 Championships. If I do not make the final travel roster for the World Championships, I have earned the incredible honor of representing the USA Futures Team, competing in Budapest, Hungary—one of the historical epicenters of global water polo.
Why I Need Your Support
Reaching this elite tier of USA Water Polo is a dream come true, but competing at the international level comes with significant self-funded expenses. Training camps, flights, lodging, apparel, and tournament fees add up quickly.
Your generous donations will directly cover:
- Travel & Lodging: Safe transit and accommodations in Croatia or Hungary.
- Training Camps: Intensive elite-level preparation with Team USA coaches.
- Gear & Fees: Team USA uniform requirements and tournament entry costs.
Every Contribution Counts
Whether you can donate $10, $100, or simply share this page with your network, you are directly investing in my athletic future and helping me bring home gold for the United States. Playing against the best in the world is an opportunity I have worked toward for years, and I promise to represent our country with pride, intensity, and sportsmanship.
Thank you so much for your love, support, and for being part of my journey!
Go Team USA!
