What piece of coaching and/or personal advice has stuck with you over the years?
The best advice I have gotten is to only do something as long as I am enjoying it and not worry about anybody else. It doesn't matter if I'm the slowest one in the pool as long as I am enjoying it!

What separates this USD team from the competition?
The USD team definitely stood out to me as a very close and friendly team. The girls were all so nice and seemed to be very hard-working and dedicated as well! They are all very talented and positive and seemed to have the perfect balance of having fun, great academics, and fast swimming.

What do you see yourself doing in 10 years?
I would like to be a nurse or nurse practitioner and travel abroad!
