Support My Journey to Team USA – and Beyond
My Story
Water polo has become a huge part of my life. Through this sport, I've learned discipline, teamwork, and how to push myself every day to improve. Over the years, I've built strong connections with teammates, coaches, and athletes from all over, even while living on the East Coast, where water polo opportunities are more limited. Those experiences have pushed me to work harder and stay committed. I've grown so much both in and out of the pool, and I'm excited to continue that journey as I take the next steps in my career.
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. I started as a swimmer, which is a more individual sport, so discovering water polo showed me how much I love competing as part of a team. Being able to combine my love for the water with a fast-paced, team-focused sport is what makes it so special to me.
Why Your Support Matters
Your support truly means everything to me. I wouldn't be this close to my goal of one day making the USA Women's Olympic Water Polo Team without the support of my family, friends, and community. Every bit of support helps open doors for training, coaching, and new opportunities that allow me to keep growing in this sport and chasing my goals.
Looking Ahead
This season, I'm preparing for major opportunities like Futures, JOs, and National Team Selection Camp, which is a key step toward making the national team-a goal I've been working toward for the past three years. I'll continue updating my journey as I push myself to compete at the highest level and take advantage of every opportunity ahead.
Join My Team
If you'd like to be part of my journey, I would truly appreciate your support. I am dedicated, I have a genuine love for this sport, and I will continue to work hard every day to reach my goals. I'm incredibly grateful for everyone who supports me and believes in my dream of one day making the USA Women's Olympic Water Polo Team. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference. Thank you for being part of my journey and my team.
