Support My Journey to Team USA – and Beyond

I’ve been selected to participate in USA Water Polo’s Olympic Development Program (ODP), the 2026 National Team Selection Camp (NTSC), and the Futures International trip in Greece. This opportunity brings me closer to my goal of competing at the highest level—and representing Team USA.

My Story

Ever since I started playing the sport at 9 years old, water polo has become a huge part of my life. The sport has taught me vital lessons in and out of the pool. I’ve built incredible friendships and have grown as a player. I’m excited to continue this journey and play abroad.

Why I Love Water Polo

I love water polo because it allows me to compete and push myself to be my best. 

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.
