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, and it’s something my whole family has been dedicated to—my dad has been coaching, and my brother has been playing alongside me. 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.

Why I Love Water Polo

I love water polo because it pushes me to be better every day, both physically and mentally. It’s taught me how to be a supportive teammate and has helped me grow into a stronger leader by encouraging others and leading by example.

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.

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.
