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. I've been participating in the Olympic delvelopment program since I was 13 and am very excited to have this opportunity to attend NTSC this year. Watching my brothers play (and even my mom sometimes) has inspired me to keep training and see how far I can go.  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 challenges me to be my best every day and teaches me how to be a better teammate. Over the years I've had so many coaches and teammates that inspired me and also pushed me to become a better player. 

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.

Join My Team

If you'd like to be part of my journey, I would truly appreciate your support.  Every contribution – big or small – makes a difference.  Thank you for being part of my journey and my team.
