Hi family and friends,

I was 8 years old when I started my water polo journey. I immediately felt a connection to the water and developed a deep passion for the sport. Currently, I am playing year-round water polo for Santa Cruz Water Polo Club. Through lots of hard work in and out of the pool I was selected to represent the Pacific Zone at the USA Olympic Development Program National Championships. Out of the top teams in the nation we placed third with a bronze medal. The top female athletes from the National Championship were selected for the National Team Selection Camp, where we will get to train with the Olympic Development coaches and top athletes from across the nation in Orange County. This is an amazing oppertuntiy for me to further my skills in the water, collaborate with teammates, and attempt to make the Development National Team once again. Water polo has become more than just a sport, but a way of life. If you'd like to be part of my journey, I would truly appreciate your support.  Every contribution makes a difference.  Thank you for being part of my journey and my team!

Go Team USA!
