My Story

Water polo has shaped who I am both in and out of the pool. I started playing club polo with Diablo Alliance when I was 12, after having been on swim team at Scottsdale and then Rancho San Miguel since I was 5, and then making the Varsity Water Polo Team on my freshman year at Northgate Highschool. Water polo has become a huge part of my life. Through the sport, I’ve learned responsibility, independence, discipline, teamwork, and how to push myself every single day to improve. 

I’ve built incredible friendships with so many great people. I’m excited to continue that journey at the next level. The opportunity to pursue the National Team is tremendous. It is about representing something bigger than myself. Honoring all of the early morning and late evening practices, all the work I've put in, the hours, the pain, the discipline, and the sacrifices and also honoring all the great support from friends, family and amazing coaches and teammates that I've received along the way.  I am grateful for my community.  I'm committed to giving everything I have to get there. My goal is to continue growing as an athlete and teammate, and to compete at the highest levels for my country.   

Why I Love Water Polo

I am in love with the sport because it demands everything. There's nothing like the intensity of competing, pushing past your limits that you didn't think you could make. Running out of air while grappling underwater and fighting every cell in your body screaming in pain, you don't think, you react with muscle memory from hundreds of hours of drills, using every ounce of power in your legs, fighting with everything you have to overpower your opponent, defend your goalie, block the shot, take the hit and draw the foul, and drive for the win. Pushing past the point of mental and physical exhausion is exhilarating. The combination of physical endurance, strategy, teamwork and camraderie of the sport is electrifying and motivates me to get up every single morning.       

Why Your Support Matters

Travel, training, coaching and participation costs – all of it adds up quickly, which is why I am asking for support from my community, friends and family.  Your support will help make it possible for me to compete internationally alongside some of the best players in the country while learning from elite coaches, and representing the USA abroad. If you're able to support me, it would truly mean a lot. Thank you for believing in me and being part of my journey.  

Looking Ahead

I am looking forward to training at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs and then competing internationally in Budapest, Hungary. I am excited to play alongside incredible athletes. I want to continue to learn, improve and develop as a player and a teammate. This page will stay with me throughout the 2026 ODP season, including NTSC and future Pipeline experiences. I’ll continue updating my journey here as I work toward the next level with Team USA. 

Join My Team

If you'd like to be part of my journey, I would truly appreciate your support.  Every contribution – big or small – means a great deal to me and brings me one step closer to my dream of reprsenting Team USA.  Thank you for being part of my team.
